23 Jul, 2011

Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures fell in early trading on Friday due to light demand for US supplies on the export market and pressure from a firm dollar, traders said. Corn futures also fell on forecasts for cooler and wetter weather in the US Midwest in coming days.
At 9:34 am CDT (1434 GMT), CBOT September wheat was down 7 cents at $6.70-1/4 a bushel. CBOT December corn was 4-1/2 cents lower at $6.68-1/2.
