Lower stocks push oil futures above $80 as 2-day gain ends for corn

December corn on the Chicago Board of Trade settled at $3.84 a bushel on Wednesday, falling by 6 cents and ending a two-day run of heavy fund-buying. Early crop projections set a bearish mood on the market as analysts look to next week's release of the Department of Agriculture's supply-and-demand report and crop estimates. Crude futures ended above $80 a barrel after the Energy Information Administration announced that oil stockpiles fell by 3.9 million barrels last week.
