CBOT corn eases on profit taking, technical selling

By Reuters News

- Chicago Board of Trade corn futures eased on Wednesday in a profit-taking and technical-selling correction after prices rallied a day earlier on a bullish monthly US Department of Agriculture report.

  • Corn spiked on Tuesday after the US Department of Agriculture lowered its US corn harvest outlook by more than expected and tightened its end-of-season supply estimate. But the agency also lowered its US export forecast and raised production estimates for rival suppliers in South America.

  • CBOT December corn futures settled a penny lower at $4.48 per bushel. The benchmark contract hit overhead technical resistance near its 20-day moving average and failed to push above Tuesday's session high.
