Chicago grains consolidate as mixed weather monitored
Updates at 1144 GMT, changes dateline
PARIS/CANBERRA, July 24 (Reuters) -Chicago grain futures were little changed on Wednesday, with corn and soybean consolidating below two-week highs, as the market weighed a dry spell in part of North America against sizeable global supplies.
The most-active soybean contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Sv1 was down 0.4% at $10.71-1/4 a bushel by 1144 GMT, easing from Tuesday's high of $10.86-3/4.
CBOT corn Cv1 inched up 0.1% to $4.17-3/4 a bushel, holding close to Tuesday's peak of $4.22-1/2.
CBOT wheat Wv1 edged up 0.2% to $5.43-3/4 a bushel after falling a day earlier.
Prices of all three crops remain near their lowest since 2020 after investors anticipating ample supply amassed large net short positions in recent weeks.
A shift to hot, dry conditions in a swathe of Canada and the United States, plus a reassessment of Donald Trump's chances of regaining the U.S. presidency following incumbent Joe Biden's decision to quit the race, spurred short-covering this week.
But despite the coming hot and dry weather in part of the U.S. Midwest, conditions for soy and corn look pretty good, said Dennis Voznesenski, an analyst at Commonwealth Bank in Sydney.
Arid conditions in corn-producing belts in the Black Sea region were also unlikely to puncture expectations of ample supply, he said, with South American producers shipping large amounts of corn and soy.
"It's hard to see a very supportive market in the near term," he said.
Scouts on the first day of an annual U.S. crop tour on Tuesday projected spring wheat in southern and east-central North Dakota will produce the highest yields in tour records dating to 1994, also tempering concern about the onset of dry weather.
Consultancy Sovecon raised slightly its forecast for Russia's 2024 wheat crop, illustrating favourable harvest prospects in the world's biggest wheat exporter.
Traders are also seeking a clearer picture of the rain-hit harvest in western Europe, including expectations of a poor crop in France.
"A wait-and-see attitude therefore prevails on the wheat market ... as we await further harvest data," Argus analysts said in a note.
Concerns over Chinese demand, which have weighed on wider commodity markets, and competition from cheaper South American and Black Sea suppliers continued to cool export sentiment, despite news of a sale of 200,000 metric tons of U.S. corn on Tuesday.
