US Cash Grains-Soy, corn basis steady-firmer on thin farmer selling
CHICAGO, Dec 3 (Reuters) -Spot basis bids for corn and soybeans were steady to firmer in the U.S. Midwest on Tuesday, reflecting a slow pace of farmer offerings as Chicago Board of Trade futures stayed within recent trading ranges, curbing further sales before the year's end, brokers said.
* The soybean basis firmed by 5 cents a bushel at a crushing operation in Council Bluffs, Iowa, by 3 cents at Seneca, Illinois, on the Illinois River, and by 2 cents at a terminal in Cincinnati, Ohio.
* Soybean crush margins have declined since early November but remain profitable, supporting processor demand for replacement beans.
* The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that U.S. processors crushed 215.8 million bushels of soybeans in October, a record high for any month that topped a range of trade expectations for 209.5 million to 212 million bushels.
* For corn, the basis improved by a penny a bushel at Seneca, Illinois, and by 2 cents at an ethanol plant in Union City, Indiana.
* Most locations have rolled their corn basis to the CBOT March futures contract CH25 as the CBOT December contract CH25 nears its Dec. 13 expiration.
* On the CBOT as of 11:15 a.m. CST (1715 GMT), January soybean futures SF25 were up 6-3/4 cents at $9.92 per bushel while March corn futures CH25 were down 1/2 cent at $4.32 a bushel. GRA/
