6:00 a.m. CME Globex:   December corn was up 1 1/2 cents, November soybeans
were down 6 1/4 cents, and December K.C. wheat was down 1/4 cent.

CME Globex Recap:   Global equity markets are stronger to close the week as
both the U.S. and China seem much more reserved with the latest round of
tariffs tacked on. The weakness in the U.S. dollar index is supporting
commodities across the board with the Bloomberg Commodity Index trading to the
highest level since mid-August Thursday. A little back and fill trade in the
grain room Friday.
