CHICAGO, June 27 (Reuters) - Chicago corn and soybean
futures rose on Friday from multi-month lows, supported by short
covering and a weakening dollar, analysts said.
Grain market participants were also adjusting positions as
they turned their attention to U.S. Department of Agriculture
acreage, stock and crop progress reports on Monday.
However, favourable supply prospects in the United States
and worldwide remained a curb on prices.
The most-active soybean contract was last up 9-3/4
cents to $10.26-1/4 per bushel as of 11:15 a.m. CT (1615 GMT).
CBOT wheat added 4-1/2 cents to $5.41-1/4 a bushel.
CBOT corn gained 4-1/2 cents to $4.08-1/2 a bushel,
recovering from Thursday's eight-month low of $4.02-1/4.
"There's some short covering after the big selloff," Randy
Place, analyst at Hightower Report, said." We've already priced
in a good bit of bearishness this week."
Further weakness in the dollar, as investors see chances of
bigger U.S. interest rate cuts this year, also helped underpin
commodity markets.
Despite Friday's bounce, large global supply prospects still
hung over grain markets.
Warm weather and rains have created ideal growing conditions
for soybeans and corn in the U.S. Midwest, while in Brazil
farmers are expected to harvest a bumper second corn crop
following a record soybean harvest earlier this year.
"It'll be a larger crop than expected, which competes
directly with U.S. exports," Place said.
In wheat, the International Grains Council raised its
2025-26 world wheat crop outlook by 2 million tons to 808
million on Thursday, while the European Commission increased its
forecast for the European Union's soft wheat crop by 1.6 million
tons to 128.2 million tons.
Canadian farmers planted more acres of wheat, oats,
soybeans, lentils, dry peas and corn, but fewer acres of canola
and barley compared with 2024 levels, according to a Statistics
Canada survey released on Friday.
