   EARLY MORNING GLOBEX NET CHANGES:  December corn is down 2 cents per bushel,
November soybeans are down 6 1/4 cents, December KC wheat is up 1 1/4 cents,
December Chicago wheat is up 4 1/4 cents, and MIAX December Minneapolis wheat
is up 0.0350 cents.

   CME GLOBEX RECAP: On Thursday, December corn rose 1 1/2 cents, November
soybeans fell 9 cents, and December KC wheat rose 4 1/2 cents. Soybean and corn
basis was weaker, while spring wheat and hard red winter wheat basis was
stronger Thursday, and soft red winter basis was steady. Overall, row-crop
markets were pressured for most of Thursday amid improving weather forecasts
for the Corn Belt's harvest season next week. Late in the session, a surge of
buying helped corn and wheat finish slightly higher, while soybeans finished
off their daily lows. Concerns remain about the quality of crops deluged by
rain and sitting in wet conditions. While farmers in parts of the Eastern Corn
Belt can get into the fields, harvest in the Western Corn Belt is stalled.
Regarding the war, Turkey and the United Nations are trying to bring Russia and
Ukraine together for a meeting to discuss a Black Sea ceasefire. After Friday's
close, CFTC will wrap up the week with the Commitments of Traders report at
2:30 p.m. CDT.
