Wheat futures at the Chicago Board of Trade were mostly lower at midsession on Tuesday amid sluggish exports and outlooks for record-large world wheat output, traders said.
At 10:58 am CST (1658 GMT), wheat was steady to 3 cents per bushel lower, with December down 2-1/4 cents at $3.04.
Trade was choppy and volume was light. Wheat opened firm on a short-covering bounce after Monday's fund-driven slide to three-week lows. Fimat Futures and Calyon each bought 300 December, traders said.
