DTN Early Word Grains 05/10 05:57 Bouncing Back from Wednesday July corn was 1 cent higher, July soybeans were 3 cents higher, and July Kansas City (HRW) wheat was 5 cents higher. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: July corn was 1 cent higher, July soybeans were 3 cents higher, and July Kansas City (HRW) wheat was 5 cents higher. CME Globex Recap: The grain and oilseed complex bounced back from Wednesday's lower close to trade higher overnight into Thursday morning. Some might say it's a "Turnaround Thursday." The fate of the markets will be determined by USDA late Thursday morning with the release of the May Supply and Demand and Crop Production reports. The general consensus is this set of numbers is expected to be extremely bullish for corn, less so for soybeans and wheat. Energies and metals were also higher overnight as the U.S. dollar index weakened.
