WHEAT - Down 1 cent to up 1 cent per bushel

• Wheat was choppy as traders awaited fresh news on the conflict in the Middle East as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture's monthly world crop report due later in the day, which is expected to make only minor adjustments to its U.S. and global supply forecasts.

• Winter wheat in part of the U.S. Midwest is exiting dormancy, while a swathe of wheat in the Southwest Plains missed out on rains needed to alleviate drought concerns, an analyst note said.

CORN - Down 1 to 2 cents per bushel

• Corn eased further from multi-year and multi-month highs on Tuesday, as U.S. President Donald Trump's prediction that the war with Iran could end soon sent crude oil tumbling.

• Grain are influenced by oil fluctuations both because they are tied to commodity investment flows and since crops like soybeans and corn are widely used to produce biofuel.
