US grains rose on Thursday, with corn and wheat futures each gaining for the sixth straight session, amid a broad commodities rally as the dollar fell to the lowest level in more than a month after the US Federal Reserve said it would not raise interest rates for at least two years.
Wheat futures at the Chicago Board of Trade were also supported by concerns that Russia's wheat crop could be hurt by lower-than-normal temperatures in some growing areas in the country, the world's third largest exporter of the grain in the current season. CBOT March wheat was up 2.3 percent, or 14-3/4 cents, at $6.56, while CBOT March corn was 6 cents higher at $6.40-1/4 per bushel and CBOT March soyabeans 13-1/2 cents higher at $12.27.
