CHICAGO, Sept 17 (Reuters) -Chicago wheat futures eased on Tuesday as geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine faded into the background and brisk exports of Black Sea wheat continued to pose tough competition to U.S. wheat exports, traders said.
Soy futures ticked up as traders monitor heat and dryness in Brazil that could pose a threat to soybean seeding in theworld's top soybean exporter.
Corn futures experienced choppy trading as the U.S. ramps up what is expected to be a bumper harvest and farmers took advantage of relatively higher prices to sell old-crop corn.
"It's not a victory for farmers, but they're getting the last pieces of the crop out while it's sitting at higher levels," said Joe Davis, a trader at Futures International.
The most active wheat contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Wv1 was down 5-1/4 cents at $5.73-1/4 per bushel by 11 a.m. CDT (1600 GMT), while CBOT soybeans Sv1 edged 1/4 cent higher to $10.04-3/4 a bushel and corn Cv1 was down 3/4 cent at $4.10 a bushel.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Mondayrated 65% of the U.S. corn crop as "good-to-excellent," above analysts' estimates, and 64% of the soybean crop as "good-to-excellent," matching expectations.
The USDA said the U.S. corn harvest was 9% complete by Sunday and the soybean harvest was 6% complete, both 3 percentage points ahead of their five-year averages.
The condition ratings are the highest for this time of year since 2018, underscoring expectations for large harvests. Brazil's government forecasta soybean crop that would be 12.8% higher than last year, though drought could threaten soy seeding and kept a bottom on soy prices.
A missile attack on a grain vessel in the Black Sea last week that Ukraine blamed on Moscow as well as dryness in key wheat-growing areas have been priced into the wheat market and added little support to futures on Tuesday, traders said.
