US Cash Grains-Corn, soy basis higher amid little selling

By Reuters News

CHICAGO, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Basis bids for soybeans and corn were higher in the US Midwest on Thursday as low prices discouraged farmer selling.

  • Commodity brokerage StoneX raised its estimates for the US corn and soybean harvests on Tuesday; traders are awaiting updated US Department of Agriculture harvest estimates next week.

  • Rain has interrupted harvests in some parts of the US, slowing some cash sales of crops by farmers, according to traders.

  • The US Department of Agriculture said on Monday the US soybean harvest was 88% complete and corn harvesting 74% complete. The USDA expects the largest-ever soybean crop and the second-largest corn crop on record.

  • Corn and soybean futures gained after reaching multi-month lows in the previous session.

  • CBOT corn was last 2-1/4 cents lower to $4.42 a bushel, while soybeans fell 2-1/4 cents to $12.00 a bushel.
