DTN Early Word Grains 04/09 05:57 A Kumbaya Weekend May corn was 1 cent higher, May soybeans were 12 cents higher, and July Kansas City (HRW) wheat was 5 cents higher. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: May corn was 1 cent higher, May soybeans were 12 cents higher, and July Kansas City (HRW) wheat was 5 cents higher. CME Globex Recap: Overnight trade reacted to this past weekend's softer talk on trade tariffs with China, sending DJIA futures rocketing almost 200 points higher and rallying soybeans as much as 23 cents during the session. Of course these "good vibes" may last only until the President of the United States tweets again Monday morning. Outside of administrative manipulation, winter wheat rallied on its old friend weather. While an early double-digit rally didn't hold in Kansas City wheat, the market remained firm early Monday.
