Corn futures closed substantially higher on Tuesday, drawing support from a lower-than-expected planting pace in U.S. Department of Agriculture weekly crop progress report, announced on Monday. Gold and silver futures also declined on Tuesday, while weaker U.S. economic data and technically oriented selling prompted a pullback in copper futures. In energy trading, all stocks finished lower save for natural gas which bucked the trend and advanced.
