Corn fell Thursday and soybean futures rose after the U.S. government's latest crop report.
Gold and silver fell and energy futures ended higher.
Corn for December delivery fell 6.25 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $4.6625 a bushel after the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that crop yields were higher than traders had been expecting.
Soybeans for November delivery jumped 37.75 cents, or 2.8 percent, to $13.96 a bushel. The U.South DakotaA. reported that demand for soybeans was stronger than analysts believed.
Brandon Marshall, a commodity analyst with Northstar Commodity in Minneapolis, said another reason soybeans fell Thursday was an expectation that supplies could dwindle because of a decline in production.
