Corn Slip Lower on TuesdayCorn futures ended the Tuesday session with weakness. Contracts closed out the day with losses of anywhere form 1 ¼ to 4 ¾ cents across the board, led by the nearbys. Ahead of the Thursday USDA reports, analysts expect to see NASS cut corn yield by 0.4 bushel per acre to 182.7 bpa. With harvested acres thought to be left unchanged, the production total is seen as 42 million bushels lower at 15.105 billion bushels. US ending stocks are expected to be down ~8 mbu to 1.859 bbu for the old crop figure. New crop is seen dropping by 41 mbu to 2.032 bbu according to a Bloomberg survey, mainly due to the smaller production. NASS reported on Monday condition ratings slipping 1% to 64% gd/ex.
