U.S. new-crop corn and soybean futures tumbled to their lowest in more than a week on Tuesday, pressured by forecasts of much-needed rain in the Midwest, where crops are deteriorating due to drought, analysts said.
December corn on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange fell 27-1/4 cents to $5.61 a bushel after falling to $5.55, its lowest level since June 15. November CBOT soybeans fell 28-3/4 cents to $12.94-1/4 a bushel, while September wheat fell 39-1/4 cents to $6.99 a bushel.
Rain forecasts in the Corn Belt later this week and next week eased fears of dry weather that weighed on crops in June.
The health of US corn and soybean crops has deteriorated to the worst in decades, USDA data showed on Monday. The USDA rated 50% of the US corn crop and 51% of the soybean crop as good or excellent, compared to 55% and 54% respectively last week. The ratings were the lowest for this time of year since 1988, a historic drought year.
As weather forecasts boosted supply optimism, questions about demand for US corn and soybeans remained given fierce global competition for export business. Similarly, in the wheat market, attention has shifted back to competitive prices in Russia.
The European Union's crop monitoring service MARS on Monday forecast Russia's 2023 wheat harvest at 86.7 million metric tons.
