   MORNING GLOBEX NET CHANGES: Market data unavailable at this time. We will
update this section if possible when the data is released.

   CME GLOBEX RECAP: Trading of futures and options on the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange was halted early Friday by a data-center fault. Markets disrupted for
hours were equities, foreign exchange, bonds, and commodities. On Wednesday,
March corn closed up 7 cents, and May corn was up 6 1/4 cents. January soybeans
closed up 6 3/4 cents, and March soybeans were up 6 cents. March KC wheat
closed up 1 3/4 cents. Soybean basis was steady, while soft red winter wheat,
hard red winter wheat, and corn basis were stronger on Wednesday, and spring
wheat basis was weaker. Traders face the final trading day of the month,
following the day off from the holiday break. Early Friday at 7:30 a.m. CST,
USDA will release its most recent weekly export sales report with data up to
October 16, still working to catch up on missed reports from the government
shutdown. The market will also close early at 12:05 p.m. CST. The markets
entered the break quietly and appear to want to close out the month quietly.
Midweek reports of China buying multiple cargoes of U.S. soybeans have
underpinned the market this week. Corn traders rely on strong demand, proven by
higher export inspection and export sales figures. The wheat market is feasting
on corn strength and a softer U.S. dollar.
