CHICAGO, July 26 (Xinhua) -- Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) agricultural futures settled mixed on Friday, with corn and wheat futures falling as traders reacted to sluggish U.S. export data and forecasts called for milder growing weather over the weekend.
The most active corn contract for December delivery was down 3 cents, or 0.7 percent to 4.245 U.S. dollars per bushel. September wheat was down 3.5 cents, or 0.7 percent to 4.96 dollars per bushel.
November soybeans were up 1.25 cents, or 0.14 percent to 9.01 dollars per bushel.
Wheat futures fell amid lofty crop conditions and relatively benign weather in spring wheat belt.
Corn futures also went down for a third straight session on technical selling, disappointing export demand and some outlooks for milder weather in the U.S. Midwest next week.
Soybeans edged higher, with the benchmark November contract staying inside of Thursday's trading range. Optimism about U.S. trade talks with China next week lends support. Enditem
