Grains

OMAHA (DTN) -- As we near the close, December corn is up 1/2 cent, January soybeans are down 2 cents, and December K.C. wheat is down 1/4 cent. Other than a narrow band of precipitation across southern Iowa, the weekend was mostly dry and favorable for harvest across the Midwest. The five-day forecast also remains mostly dry. In outside markets, the U.S. dollar index and gold are steady, while January crude oil is up 59 cents. AP reported the Pacific Rim summit ended without a joint statement for the first time in 29 years, because of deep disagreements between the U.S. and China.
