DTN Closing Grain Comments 09/27 13:46 Financial Markets Recover, Propping up Corn and Soy Futures Only Briefly Equities, energies, and metals all bounced early on Tuesday, following the recent financial market meltdown and the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hike. The U.S. dollar paused its nonstop rally to give grain and soy markets a much-needed boost. Wheat futures led the market higher, but the bullish euphoria appears short-lived, as the Fed is expected to remain hawkish in coming months. The equity markets ended up selling off late in the session, while the U.S. Dollar Index again approached the high. Corn and soybeans could not hold early gains, with beans closing lower.
