US Cash Grains-Soy basis bids steady to higher

By Reuters News

- Basis bids for soybeans were flat to up at processors and river terminals in the US Midwest on Wednesday, spot checks showed.

  • In its monthly supply-and-demand report on Tuesday, the USDA raised its US soybean harvest forecast by less than expected and increased its demand outlook.

  • Basis bids for soybeans rose 5 cents at a processor in Lafayette, Indiana and 2 cents at a Davenport, Iowa river terminal.

  • Dealers have been trying to incentivize farmers to sell this week as prices remain low and the completion of the harvest has kept them busy.

  • CBOT January soybeans ended 2-3/4 cents higher at $12.30-3/4 per bushel.

  • CBOT December corn futures settled a penny lower at $4.48 per bushel.
