Corn trades at a one-week low
FXStreet (Mumbai) - Corn prices in the US fell to a one-week low today as the US farmer harvested a record crop.
Corn for March delivery traded 0.60% lower at USD 3.6938/bushel at the time of writing, extending the slide from the previous session’s close of USD 3.7213. The prices are trading weak for the fourth consecutive session day as the commodity is being penalized for the abundant harvest.
