By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: July corn was fractionally lower, July soybeans were fractionally lower, and July Kansas City (HRW) wheat was 5 cents lower. CME Globex Recap: Tuesday was a busy news day with the administration announcing plans to attach RINs to ethanol exports, and allow E15 fuel sales year round, as well as the U.S. pulling out of the Iranian nuclear accord. Markets didn't know how to react, either during Tuesday's session or overnight into Wednesday morning. Corn was near unchanged while crude oil erased the previous day's sharp $2 sell-off with a similar rally overnight. Meanwhile, gold fell despite the perceived global chaos a nuclear Iran could create.
