CHICAGO, March 18 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade corn futures finished lower on Tuesday as traders anticipated greater corn planting intentions in an upcoming U.S. Department of Agriculture report, and continued to worry about retaliation against U.S. tariff policies.
CBOT May corn CK25 settled down 2-1/4 cents to $4.58-3/4 a bushel.
Analysts said investors were turning toward the USDA's upcoming prospective planting report to be released on March 31, which is expected to show increased corn planting intentions.
Traders fear more retaliation against the United States because of President Donald Trump's tariff policies, analysts said, including from Mexico, the top buyer of U.S. corn.
