CHICAGO, Dec 10 (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 Wednesday.
WHEAT - Down 5 to 6 cents per bushel
Wheat eased for a fourth session, with increases to U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates for global production and stocks underscoring ample supply.
CBOT March soft red winter wheat WH26 last traded 6 cents lower at $5.28-1/2 per bushel. K.C. March hard red winter wheat KWH26 last traded down 4-1/4 cents at $5.22-3/4 a bushel. Minneapolis March spring wheat MWEH26 last traded 3/4 cent lower at $5.75-1/2 a bushel.
CORN - Down 1 to 2 cents per bushel
Corn ticked down after rising 1% on Tuesday when the USDA said U.S. exports would be larger than it had previously projected, leading to smaller U.S. ending stocks.
Corn exports have been robust, and the USDA on Tuesday raised its U.S. corn export forecast as sales of the grain to global buyers have been stronger than anticipated.
CBOT March corn CH26 last traded 2 cents lower at $4.46 a bushel.
SOYBEANS - Down 3 to 4 cents per bushel
Soybeans fell for a fourth consecutive session on Wednesday to hold at a six-week low amid doubts that China will buy enough U.S. beans to prevent prices from losing ground in a well-supplied market.
Optimism has faded that China would quickly buy 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans under a trade truce with Washington.
Despite the slow pace of Chinese purchases, the USDA left its U.S. export forecast unchanged on Tuesday.
The USDA reported on Wednesday morning that U.S. exporters sold soybeans to China and unknown destinations for 2025/26 delivery. Exporters sold 120,000 tons of soymeal to Poland for 2025/26 delivery.
CBOT January soybeans SF26 last traded down 4 cents at $10.83-1/4 a bushel.
