CBOT corn drops to contract lows on technical setback

Published December 15, 2017 Updated December 15, 2017 08:33pm

The benchmark Chicago Board of Trade March corn futures contract turned lower after failing to hold support above its 10-day moving average.

Corn futures, under pressure from massive domestic stockpiles following a bumper harvest, sank to contract lows late in the trading session.

Support was noted for the March contract near the low end of its 20-day Bollinger range.

For the week, the most-active corn futures contract fell 1.6 percent, its second straight week of declines.
