Corn, soy and wheat ease further as supply pressure weighs
Updates at 1153 GMT, changes dateline
PARIS/CANBERRA, Oct 15 (Reuters) -Chicago corn and soybean futures fell for a fourth straight session on Tuesday to multi-week lows as the prospect of bumper U.S. harvests and timely rain for planting in Brazil kept the focus on ample global supply.
Wheat futures also slipped as forecast for rain in parched Russian wheat belts eased supply concerns and took attention away from uncertainty over Russian export policy.
A slide in crude oil, as global demand worries persisted, also hung over grain markets. O/R
The most-active corn contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Cv1 was down 0.4% at $4.06-3/4 a bushel at 1153 GMT, with CBOT soybeans Sv1 falling 0.7% to $9.89-1/2 a bushel and wheat Wv1 slipping 0.2% to $5.84 a bushel.
Soybeans earlier touched their lowest since late August, while corn struck a three-week low and wheat a two-week low.
Forecast rain in Brazil is set to break a dry period that hampered planting, with only 8.2% of the total expected soybean area sown by last Thursday compared to 17% at the same time last season, consultancy AgRural said.
"The market's really been focused on South America," said Dennis Voznesenski, an analyst at Commonwealth Bank in Sydney. "Any change in the weather forecast to more favourable conditions is causing prices to move lower."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USA), in a monthly report on Friday, raised its estimate of U.S. corn production and trimmed its forecast of U.S. soybean output. The country is set for its second-biggest corn harvest and its biggest soybean crop.
In wheat, traders are concerned about Russia, the biggest shipper, where export prices rose last week in anticipation of lower supply.
The Russian government has also set a minimum price and a higher export duty to limit shipments.
But the impact of the measures was unclear and the market was focusing on showers expected southern Russia in coming days that may help planting, traders said.
