US corn futures rose on Friday as crude oil leaped to its highest since 2008, gold soared to record highs and the dollar fell, feeding inflation worries and prompting broad-based buying of inflation-sensitive commodities. Corn had sagged in early trade after US agricultural officials left stocks data unchanged.
At 10:34 am CDT (1534 GMT), Chicago Board of Trade corn for May delivery was up 2 cents per bushel at $7.61, May soya was up 20 cents at $13.83-1/2 and May wheat was up 1/4 at $7.73-1/2.
