US MIDDAY: wheat and corn down; soya up

03 Nov, 2010

Corn and wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade were choppy early on Tuesday and volume was light amid uncertainty ahead of this week's meeting of the US Federal Reserve and Tuesday's US elections, traders said. Soyabeans were lower as profit-taking and improving weather conditions in South America offset early support.
CBOT trends at 10:12 am CDT (1512 GMT) on Tuesday:
-- December wheat up 1/2 cent at $7.03 a bushel.
-- December corn up 1/4 cent at $5.77-1/2 a bushel.
-- November soyabeans down 3 cents at $12.22-1/4 per bushel; January down 3 at $12.32.
