US Corn eases for 5th session

Chicago corn futures slid for a fifth consecutive session as the harvest of a bumper U.S. crop gathered pace after being slowed down by rains. The Chicago Board Of Trade most-active corn contract was down 0.1 percent at $3.66-1/2 a bushel. The corn market is under renewed pressure and soybeans have ticked higher but prices remain capped by harvests gathering pace in the U.S. Midwest.
