In Chicago, corn and soybeans lost further after futures for both stocks slid on Monday to the daily limit of 20 cents and 50 cents, respectively. Heavy rains in the Midwest were expected to shower the corn crop with the moisture needed during its important pollination period.
December corn lost 11.75 cents to end at $3.3675 a bushel, while November soybeans shed 38.25 cents to $8.605 a bushel.
Wheat prices rose initially, then dipped along with the other agricultural stocks 0.5 cent lower to $6.0125 a bushel. |
