US Cash Grains-Corn basis mixed at ethanol plants, steady-up at elevators and other processors

CHICAGO, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Spot basis bids for corn were mixed at U.S. Midwest ethanol plants on Tuesday and mostly steady to higher at other processing plants and at interior and river elevators.

  • A corn processor in Lincoln, Nebraska, raised its spot basis bids by 3 cents a bushel. A river terminal in Seneca, Illinois, lifted its spot bid by 2 cents.

  • Bids at Midwest ethanol plants were up 5 cents a bushel to down 7 cents.

  • Grain merchants continued to roll their spot basis bids to the Chicago Board of Trade March contract CH26 from the December CZ25 ahead of the December contract's expiration next week.

  • Spot basis bids for soybeans were mostly steady to lower at interior elevators and processing plants and unchanged at barge-loading river elevators.

  • Farmer selling interest was muted on Tuesday as futures firmed but cash prices remained below recent highs.

  • CBOT March corn futures CH26 were 6-1/2 cents higher at midmorning on Tuesday at $4.51-1/2 a bushel and January soybeans SF26 were up 1 cent at $11.29 a bushel. GRA/
