US Cash Grains-Corn, soy bids mixed in quiet trade

ReutersDec 10, 2025 5:53 PM

- Spot basis bids for corn and soybeans were mixed in the U.S. Midwest on Wednesday as trade was relatively quiet, dealers reported.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Chicago Board of Trade March corn futures CH26 were last 3 cents lower at $4.45 a bushel and January soybeans SF26 were up 3 cents to $10.90-1/4 a bushel. GRA/
