Chicago Board of Trade corn futures were mildly firmer early Thursday amid light short-covering before the long Christmas weekend, traders said. Some support stemmed from the neighbouring soybean pit. But volume was very thin in corn and prices kept within a penny range. CBOT corn futures were 1/2 cent to 1 cent higher by 1100 CST (1700 GMT).
March was up 1/2 cent at $2.06. The March contract has only seen an 8-1/2 cent trading range since Dec. 1. Rand Financial was the featured buyer with 500 March. CBOT grain markets close early on Thursday, at noon CST (1800 GMT), and reopen on Sunday night for the e-cbot session.
