CHICAGO, Nov 25 (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. CST (1430 GMT) on Tuesday.

NOTE: Markets will be closed on Thanksgiving on Thursday.

WHEAT - Up 1 to 2 cents per bushel

• Wheat futures moved higher on positioning ahead of Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.

• Falling Russian prices, harvesting in Argentina and Australia, and results from a Saudi import tender on Monday have kept attention on strong competition in a well-supplied wheat market.

• The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported weekly net export sales of wheat for the week ended October 9 at 613,900 metric tons.

• March soft red winter wheat WH26 was last up 1-3/4 cents to $5.36-1/2 per bushel. K.C. March hard red winter wheat KWH26 was last up 2-1/4 cents to $5.24-3/4 a bushel and Minneapolis March wheat MWEH26 was last down 1-1/4 cents to $5.74-3/4 a bushel.

CORN - Up 1 to 2 cents per bushel

• CBOT March corn CH26 was last up 1-3/4 cents to $4.38-1/2 per bushel.

SOYBEANS - Up 2 to 3 cents per bushel

• Soybean futures inched up on Tuesday after comments by U.S. President Donald Trump bolstered expectations of further Chinese purchases under a bilateral trade truce.

• Doubts in the market over Chinese purchases reaching 12 million metric tons, cited by Washington as a target for end-December, pushed prices back from that peak.

• But Trump's comments on Monday, in which he said he had spoken to his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping about topics including U.S. farm products, put the focus back on more potential demand.

• The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported weekly net export sales of soybeans at 786,400 tons.

• CBOT January soybeans SF26 were last up 4-1/4 cents to $11.27-1/2 per bushel.
