Just after 9:00 a.m. CT, December corn was down 4¢ at $4.30¼ per bushel.
January soybeans were down 15¢ at $11.19¼ per bushel.
“Corn, soybeans, and wheat are seeing profit taking this morning following [Monday’s] strong finish,” said Karl Setzer, partner with Consus Ag Consulting. “News that China is booking Brazil soybeans along with U.S. soybeans is removing some of the bullish sentiment following last week’s market run up following the U.S./China trade agreement. A simple correction from [Monday’s] rally is also weighing on the soy complex, as is the end of meals run of 14 consecutive higher closes that took the contract well into overbought territory.”
