DTN Early Word Grains 05/02 05:58 Mixed Ag Markets on Weather, Trade and On-Farm Supplies July corn is up 1 cent per bushel, July soybeans are down 2 1/4 cents, and July K.C. wheat is up 1 cent. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: July corn is up 1 cent per bushel, July soybeans are down 2 1/4 cents, and July K.C. wheat is up 1 cent. CME Globex Recap: Another day, another report the U.S. and China are "close" to striking a deal to end the trade war. Reports Wednesday suggested the two sides would "immediately" remove a 10% tariff on a portion of the $200 billion worth of Chinese imports when a deal is signed which is expected to be late next week. A 25% tariff on roughly $50 billion in Chinese goods would stay in place until after the 2020 election, however. Our markets have learned their lesson with getting too optimistic in the past, so it is likely traders will remain reserved until more details are released. Higher grains and weaker soybeans Thursday morning as markets grapple with the wet forecast but ample farmer grain supplies which have a closing window to move in an orderly fashion.
