CHICAGO, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Following are U.S. expectations for the resumption of grain and soy complex trading at the Chicago Board of Trade at 8:30 a.m. CDT (1330 GMT) on Friday.
NOTE: The U.S. government remains shut down, suspending many government reports.
WHEAT - Up 1 to 2 cents per bushel
CBOT wheat Wv1 futures tracked corn higher as it recovered from a five-year low this week.
Algeria's state grains agency OAIC was believed to have purchased about 400,000 metric tons of durum wheat in an international tender that closed on Wednesday, European traders said on Thursday.
CBOT December soft red winter wheat WZ25 was last up 1/4 cent at $5.02-1/4 per bushel. K.C. December hard red winter wheat KWZ25 was last down 1/4 cent at $4.88-1/2 a bushel and Minneapolis December wheat MWEZ25 last traded down 1-1/4 cents at $5.50-3/4 per bushel.
CORN - Up 1 to 3 cents per bushel
Corn futures rose as participants assessed reports of lower than expected U.S. harvest yields amid a lack of government data.
The advancing U.S. corn harvest is widely forecast to set a production record. But with the U.S. Department of Agriculture postponing most crop data due to a government shutdown, traders have been focusing on signs that some yields are below previous expectations, analysts said.
Traders have also said farmers' reluctance to sell has tightened new-crop supply of corn and soybeans.
CBOT December corn CZ25 was last up 2-1/4 cents at $4.24 per bushel.
SOYBEANS - Up 5 to 6 cents per bushel
Soybean futures Sv1 climbed as U.S. President Donald Trump said his proposed 100% tariff on goods from China, the world's largest soybean buyer, would not be sustainable.
Asked whether such a high tariff was sustainable and what that might do to the economy, Trump replied, "It's not sustainable, but that's what the number is," in an interview with Fox Business Network broadcast on Friday.
Trump unveiled additional levies of 100% on China's U.S.-bound exports a week ago.
Lack of export demand from China amid an ongoing trade war continues to pressure soybean futures.
China has yet to secure much of its soybean supply for December and January as high premiums for Brazilian cargoes discourage buyers, a development that could prompt Beijing to tap state reserves to meet near-term needs, three trade sources said
Traders have also said farmers' reluctance to sell has tightened new-crop supply of corn and soybeans. Global grain merchant ADM ADM.N is offering incentives for U.S. farmers to deliver soybeans to a major processing facility this month, sources said.
CBOT November soybeans SX25 were last up 5-1/2 cents at $10.16-1/4 per bushel.
