6:00 a.m. CME Globex:    December corn is up 1 1/2 cents per bushel, January
soybeans are down 1/4 cent, and December KC wheat is up 4 cents.

CME Globex Recap:    Global equity markets are mixed as the focus temporarily
shifts from the trade war to the impeachment hearing. Crude oil prices continue
to their recent uptrends with spot prices knocking on two-month highs. The
strength comes even as the U.S. Energy Information Administration said oil
production hit 13 million barrels per day this month and will grow more than
expected in 2019 and 2020 in a report issued Wednesday. The incredible growth
in U.S. oil production continues to change global market dynamics and will
continue to do so in 2020. Grains are mixed to higher overnight with corn and
wheat posting gains while soybeans and meal are slightly lower. For the
volatility seen this week, grains haven't really gone anywhere, sitting inside
ranges or maintaining previous trends. Harvest and South American weather
remain the focus with the last third of corn harvest in the United States
expected to drag out over the next several weeks, especially in the upper
Midwest. No major changes to South American weather maps overnight.
