CHICAGO – US wheat futures fell, touching a one-month low on improving prospects for the crop in the US Plains, traders said.

Corn futures fell on a round of profit-taking after rising in three of the previous four sessions. Soybeans also closed lower, with concerns about demand outweighing a bargain-buying attempt after prices for the most-active contract sagged to a three-week low.

Traders noted slowing activity from soy crushers as well as export buyers.

“High prolonged prices (are) finally starting to trim overall demand as we head into the summer months,” ArlanSuderman, chief commodities economist at StoneX, said in a note to clients. – Reuters
