Grains

OMAHA (DTN) -- Posted 12:43 -- December corn is down 3/4 cent per bushel, January soybeans are up 8 cents, December KC wheat is down 4 cents, December Chicago wheat is down 8 1/2 cents and MIAX December Minneapolis wheat is up 0.0100 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 192.95 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.250 and December crude oil is up $0.34 per barrel. December gold is up $22.30 per ounce. As we head into the Friday close, soybeans and products are still moderately higher, while corn is leaking and wheat markets in both KC and Chicago have added to losses. There is still no sign of China buying more U.S. beans, and with Brazil values far cheaper, it is understandable. Weather in South America remains a bearish influence with showers in Brazil the next few weeks and Argentina looking at a favorably drier forecast.
