6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is down 3/4 cents per bushel, November
soybeans are down 5 1/4 cents, and September K.C. wheat is down 1 1/4 cents.
CME Globex Recap: Quiet equity markets Tuesday morning as earning season gets
set to begin. Investors are also watching to see any developments from a
telephone conference scheduled for later this week between Treasury Secretary
Mnuchin, U.S. Trade Representative Lighthizer and their Chinese counterparts.
If the call is productive, Mr. Mnuchin said he and Mr. Lighthizer may travel to
Beijing for trade negotiations. Grain markets are weaker across the board with
the exception of Minneapolis wheat, which is likely enjoying a bit of spread
unwinding. Improved weather forecasts for late July along with a bit of
improvement in crop conditions appears to be pausing buy programs at this time.
There is still a long way to go between now and successful pollination but the
searing heat does look to subside. Flagging action in December corn looks to
bring price back toward the $4.40 level, an incredibly popular auction price as
of late.
