Soybeans and corn both closed modestly lower on fund and technical selling in thin trade. Rain delayed harvest in some US areas, and parts of Brazil remain dry, with Mato Grosso's soybean planting drawing attention.

Routine fund selling pushed prices lower, but delayed Brazilian planting in Mato Grosso could slow the second corn crop and tighten supplies later. Feed buyers should watch the USDA report and Brazil's planting pace for any change in direction.
