   EARLY MORNING GLOBEX NET CHANGES: July corn is up 3/4 cents and July
soybeans are down 1 1/4 cents. July KC wheat is up 3 cents, July Chicago wheat
is up 3 cents, and July MIAX Minneapolis wheat is unchanged.

   CME GLOBEX RECAP: It is a quiet start to Wednesday trade thus far with corn
and soybean markets hovering near unchanged, but winter wheat futures are
adding to Tuesday's gains as traders continue to add weather premium to the
market amid a slow start to the U.S. harvest. In macros for Wednesday, the Fed
will announce its June interest rate decision at 1 p.m. CDT and is expected to
again hold rates steady as the Israel/Iran conflict has injected another layer
of uncertainty to the global economy. Markets will also close for the
Juneteenth Holiday on Thursday, with grain futures reopening Thursday evening
at 7 p.m. CDT.
