Grains closed higher on the Chicago Board of Trade Tuesday as stocks surged in New York and the dollar lost ground against the euro and the yen.
Corn was up 9 1/2 to up 10 1/2, soybeans were up 8 to up 14 1/2, wheat was up 9 1/2 to up 9 3/4 and oats were up 4 1/4 to up 5 1/4.
Corn prices were supported by recent talk in Washington on increasing ethanol mandates. Wheat rose although China reported beneficial rain forecast for its winter wheat belt. Soybeans traders anticipate a Supply and Demand Report will list soybean stocks at 200 million bushels.
