US Cash Grains-Corn soybean basis bids mostly unchanged in US Midwest

By Reuters News

- Basis bids for corn and soybeans were mostly unchanged in a spot check of locations in the US Midwest on Thursday as futures eased.

  • US soybean futures turned lower on Thursday as a two-day rally triggered by the US Agriculture Department's bullish stocks forecast earlier this week stalled.

  • Corn futures retreated for a second straight session, while wheat prices fell to nine-month lows.

  • The USDA is due to release weekly export sales data on Friday, a day later than usual due to a US federal holiday this week.

  • Analysts surveyed by Reuters expect net old-crop US corn sales at 2 million to 3 million metric tons for the week ended November 5 and new-crop sales of 600,000 to 800,000 tons.

  • Analysts surveyed by Reuters expect net old-crop US soybean sales at 850,000 to 2 million metric tons for the week ended November 5.

  • CBOT January soybeans ended 11-3/4 cents lower at $12.19 per bushel.

  • CBOT December corn futures settled 5-1/2 cents lower at $4.42-1/2 per bushel.
