Soybeans ease 1% from two-week high; corn down on supply pressure
Soybeans ease after weather-driven rally in past three session
Brazil 2024/25 soy area to grow at slowest pace in a decade
Updates prices
SINGAPORE/PARIS, Aug 28 (Reuters) -Chicago soybean futures slid for the first time in four sessions on Wednesday, pressured by easing concerns that a heatwave in the U.S. Midwest could hurt this year's potential record crop.
Corn also edged lower, with abundant global supplies weighing on prices, while wheat remained flat.
"We don't see any major worries for the U.S. bean crop, apart from the fact that the recent dryness might have marginal impact on yields," said one Singapore trader.
"I think it should still be a record crop anyway. On the demand side, it is hand-to-mouth buying."
The most active soybean contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Sv1 fell 1% to $9.76-3/4 a bushel by 1153 GMT, having climbed to its highest since Aug. 12 at $9.92 a bushel on Tuesday.
Corn Cv1 fell 0.6% to $3.65 a bushel and wheat Wv1 was unchanged at $5.35-1/2 a bushel.
Worries over a heatwave and lack of rainfall in large parts of the U.S. Midwest has underpinned prices in the past few sessions because of fears of damage to the soybean crop during its key development stage.
However, the extreme heat in central U.S. was expected to moderate as the week progresses, according to Commodity Weather Group.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's weekly crop progress and condition report, released on Monday after trading ended, showed corn, soybean and wheat ratings below analyst expectations.
The government agency rated 65% of the U.S. corn crop as "good to excellent", down from 67% the previous week, while analysts surveyed by Reuters on average expected only a one-point drop.
Argentine farmers are likely to plant more soybeans in the current 2024/25 season, trimming the area dedicated to corn after that crop's previous harvest was hit by a devastating insect plague and because rain forecasts look rosier for soy.
China's COFCO International expects the size of Brazil's 2024/25 soybean area to grow at its slowest pace in a decade, a top executive at the company told Reuters.
Commodity funds were net buyers of CBOT corn, wheat, soybean and soymeal futures contracts and were net sellers of soyoil futures contracts on Tuesday, traders said. COMFUND/CBT
