CHICAGO, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade corn futures ended higher on Tuesday on steady demand but remained under pressure from the ongoing U.S. harvest.
CBOT December corn CZ25 settled 2-1/4 cents higher at $4.13 per bushel.
An ongoing government shutdown that has deprived market players of crucial data on exports, demand and harvest progress has made traders wary about making big moves in the market.
U.S. Midwest weather is expected to provide only limited interruptions to harvesting this week, according to forecaster Commodity Weather Group.
Taiwan's MFIG purchasing group has issued an international tender to buy up to 65,000 metric tons of animal feed corn which can be sourced from the United States, Argentina, Brazil or South Africa, European traders said on Tuesday.
