CBOT corn ends higher on support from strong wheat futures

CHICAGO, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade corn futures ended higher on Wednesday on spillover support from higher wheat futures, though ample supply continued to hang over the market.

• CBOT December corn CZ25 rose 3-3/4 cents to end at $4.35-1/4 per bushel.

• S&P Global Commodity Insights left its estimate of the average U.S. 2025 corn yield unchanged on Tuesday but raised its estimates of harvested area and production.

• A lack of government data on the status of the U.S. corn harvest has left market players with less insight on the progress and conditions of the crop.

• The U.S. corn harvest is winding down.

• Large weekly ethanol production numbers have also supported corn futures.

• China is not expected to purchase U.S. corn this year, an analyst note said.
