SINGAPORE, May 11 (Reuters) - Chicago corn futures slid for
a second consecutive session on Tuesday, hitting their lowest in
almost one week as rapidly progressing U.S. planting weighed on
the market.
The corn market is taking a break after a strong rally,
ahead of the widely watched World Agricultural Supply and Demand
Estimates (WASDE) to be published by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) on Wednesday.
