US soyabean prices rose to a near two-week high early on Thursday on firm export demand and concerns that dry weather in parts of the Midwest crop belt might jeopardise yield prospects, traders said. Corn futures fell to fresh four-year lows, retreating from early gains, and wheat also fell.
At the Chicago Board of Trade as of 12:33 pm CDT (1733 GMT), the front August soyabean contract was up 10-1/4 cents at $12.11-1/4 a bushel after reaching $12.32-3/4, the highest spot price since July 11. S
