CBOT highs were set in the first 30 minutes of trading after the pits opened. Futures then generally sold off, setting lows midday before recovering some. The December Corn contract hit daily lows on the 2pm close.

  Disappointing export sales across the board weighed on prices today even as the other fundamentals remained mostly unchanged. 

  Cattle futures were supported by the positive US economic reports and the higher equity markets.
