CHICAGO, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The following are U.S. expectations for the resumption of grain and soy complex trading at the Chicago Board of Trade at 8:30 a.m. CST (1430 GMT) on Friday:
WHEAT - Up 3 to 5 cents per bushel
<ul>
<li>CBOT wheat (Wv1) rose for a second consecutive session.</li>
<li>A massive winter storm was forecast to bring beneficial moisture to the U.S. southern Plains, but frigid temperatures in its wake could threaten winter wheat in areas lacking protective snow cover.</li>
<li>Cold also threatened wheat in top exporter Russia, though traders said world grain supplies were ample.</li>
<li>Argentina’s bumper harvest was contributing to a surge in global supply.</li>
<li>U.S. wheat export sales for 2025⁄26 delivery were 618,100 metric tons in the week that ended on January 15, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said. That beat analysts’ estimates of 150,000 to 450,000 metric tons.</li>
<li>CBOT March soft red winter wheat (WH26) was last up 3-1⁄2 cents at $5.19 per bushel. K.C. March hard red winter wheat (KWH26) was last up 5-3⁄4 cents at $5.31-1⁄2 per bushel, and Minneapolis March spring wheat (MWEH26) was last up 1-3⁄4 cents at $5.72 per bushel.</li>
</ul>
CORN - Up 2 to 4 cents per bushel
<ul>
<li>CBOT corn (Cv1) crept higher on strong U.S. export demand.</li>
<li>Weekly U.S. export sales for 2025⁄26 delivery were 4 million metric tons, exceeding analysts’ expectations of 1.9 million to 3.1 million tons. (EXP/CORN)</li>
<li>Gains in crude oil lent background support to grains and soybeans, traders said.</li>
<li>CBOT March corn (CH26) was last up 2-1⁄2 cents at $4.26-1⁄2 per bushel.</li>
</ul>
SOYBEANS - Up 3 to 5 cents per bushel
<ul>
<li>CBOT soybeans (Sv1) firmed on technical buying, analysts said.</li>
<li>Hopes for Chinese demand helped support the market, though the U.S. faces stiff competition for sales from South American suppliers, they said.</li>
<li>Weekly U.S. soybean export sales for 2025⁄26 were 2.4 million metric tons, compared to analysts’ expectations of 1.5 million to 3 million metric tons. (EXP/SOY)</li>
<li>CBOT March soybeans (SH26) were last up 4 cents at $10.68 per bushel.</li>
