US Cash Grains-Corn basis mixed, soy lower in sluggish trade

ReutersNov 26, 2025 4:48 PM

- Basis bids for corn were mixed and soy bids were steady to lower in the U.S. Midwest on Wednesday in slow trade ahead of Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday.

  • Movement has been slow and processing margins weaker.

  • Markets will be closed on Thursday.

  • The oilseed market remained underpinned by further indications of Chinese demand, with traders telling Reuters that China bought at least 10 cargoes of U.S. soybeans since Tuesday.

  • That followed a call on Monday between presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, during which Trump said he had pressed Xi to accelerate and increase Beijing's purchases of U.S. goods.

  • Chicago Board of Trade March corn CH26 was last up 6-1/2 cents to $4.45 a bushel and January soybeans SF26 were 6-1/2 cents higher to $11.31-1/4 a bushel. GRA/
