Soyabean and corn futures on the Chicago Board of Trade were higher early on Thursday as a weaker dollar helped them resume their upward march after a profit-taking setback on Wednesday. Soyabeans also drew fundamental support from fresh sales of US soyabeans to China, and a larger-than-expected US September crush estimate from the National Oilseed Processors Association.
