   CME GLOBEX RECAP:Soybeans closed lower on Tuesday, while corn and wheat
finished slightly higher. Soybean, corn, and spring wheat basis were stronger
on Tuesday, while SRW wheat and HRW wheat basis remained steady. As the U.S.
government shutdown continues to delay most farm data reports, corn traders
welcomed Tuesday's Weekly Export Inspection Report, which showed a 65% increase
in bookings compared to a year ago. Brazil's CONAB agency lowered its
20215-21026 corn production estimate from previous figures. For soybeans,
weaker export inspections, trade tensions between the U.S. and China, higher
CONAB soybean output estimates, and harvest pressures weighed on Tuesday's
trade. Wheat traders used higher export inspection numbers and technical moves
off contract lows to push the market into positive territory.
