Wheat consolidates below 3-1/2-month peak as supply risks loom
CANBERRA, Oct 4 (Reuters) -Chicago wheat futures slipped for a second day on Friday, as traders injected some caution into a rally fuelled by drought in top producer Russia that pushed prices to 3-1/2-month highs earlier in the week.
Corn futures also eased after reaching a three-month peak on Wednesday, although further gains in oil prices amid the Middle East conflict continued to support prices by boosting plant-made ethanol. O/R
Soybeans fell as forecasts for rain in top producer Brazil boosted the supply outlook.
