US corn and soyabean export premiums at the Gulf of Mexico were quietly unchanged on Thursday in subdued trade ahead of Friday's New Year's Day holiday when markets will be closed, traders said. Wheat export premiums were flat amid dull demand, with US wheat again left out of Egyptian tender due to high prices, traders said.
