SINGAPORE- Chicago corn futures were little changed on Tuesday, trading near the previous session’s eight-year high on global supply worries although a rapid pace of US planting curbed gains.

Wheat gained ground after dropping more than 2 percent on Monday, while soybeans ticked higher.

“Asian buyers are not chasing high global corn prices,” said one Singapore-based feed grain trader. “Importers are waiting for the US government’s supply-demand report due next week for a price direction. High prices are likely to prompt US farmers to plant more corn.”
