WHEAT - Down 2 to 3 cents per bushel

• CBOT wheat futures ticked lower on technical trading ahead of the long weekend, with a rising dollar also pushing prices lower.

• Chicago markets will be closed on Friday for the Juneteenth holiday.

• The dollar index rose to a one-year high after a Federal Reserve policy meeting reinforced expectations for U.S. interest rate hikes this year. A stronger dollar makes U.S. commodities more expensive for overseas buyers.

CORN - Down 2 to 3 cents per bushel

• Corn futures ticked lower ahead of the weekend under pressure from falling crude oil prices.
