Wheat, corn extend losses on firm dollar


SYDNEY: US wheat and corn futures extended their losses on Monday, in line with weaker financial markets after Friday's deadly attacks in Paris that renewed risk aversion and lifted the dollar, hurting demand for commodities priced in the greenback.

In grains, Chicago Board of Trade December wheat futures fell 0.66 to $4.92-1/2 a bushel after closing down 0.5% on Friday, while corn fell 0.1% to $3.58 after closing down 1%.
