    CHICAGO, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) grains futures settle lower on Tuesday with soybean futures tumbling to a nearly one-month low, as rain in Argentina's dry crop belts kept South America on track for a bumper harvest.

     

    The most active corn contract for March delivery fell 3 cents, or 0.85 percent, to 3.5025 dollars per bushel. March wheat delivery fell 1.75 cents, or 0.43 percent, to 4.0325 dollars per bushel. January soybeans dropped 16.25 cents, or 1.59 percent, to 10.0525 dollars per bushel.

     

    Corn and wheat futures also ticked lower, under pressure from a stronger U.S. dollar and technical selling.

     

    Rain expected in Argentina this week has eased concerns about stress to corn and soybean crops in some areas, while forecasters continue to see record harvests in fellow exporter Brazil. Even so, dryness poses a threat to soy production in southern parts of Argentina's bread-basket province Buenos Aires, climate experts said on Tuesday, and could interfere with planting.

     

    The U.S. dollar, which rose on Tuesday to a 14-year high, has also taken the shine off healthy U.S. exports of soybeans and corn.

     

    "The strong dollar indeed makes it hard for any rally potential to fully develop," said Matt Ammermann, vice president Eastern Europe and Black Sea region, at INTL FCStone.

     

    Since the weekend, parts of the U.S. Plains and Midwest have experienced temperatures cold enough to threaten wheat crops.

     

    Wheat prices remain anchored by record global inventories projected in 2016-17, with U.S. wheat facing additional pressure from a dollar rally that makes the origin less competitive for export.

    President Donald Trump infuriated Republicans on Wednesday (Sep 6) by agreeing to ease US borrowing limits Nike Air Force 1 Utility , forestalling a government shutdown and siding with opposition Democrats in a high-stakes Washington policy fight.

     

    Trump hailed a ""very good"" deal with Democratic lawmakers that will see the government funded and able to borrow all it needs until at least Dec 15, avoiding a disruptive shutdown.

     

    The deal will also provide billions in dollars of funding to help with the recovery from Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Louisiana.

     

    ""We essentially came to a deal, and I think the deal will be very good,"" said a buoyant Trump after meeting leaders from both parties in the Oval Office.

     

    During that sitdown Treasury Secretary Steve Mnunchin was among the Republicans arguing for a long-term extension to the so-called ""debt ceiling Nike Air Force 1 Junior Pas Cher ,"" before Trump shocked the room by jumping in to support Democrats' short-term fix.

     

    Afterward the president - who based his political brand on being a consummate dealmaker - was notably warm toward Democrats Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, who he repeatedly refered to as ""Chuck and Nancy.""

     

    ""We're very glad the president accepted, it's for the good of the country,"" Schumer said with barely contained glee Nike Air Force 1 Homme Pas Cher , describing the decision as ""a really positive step forward.""

     

    Republicans however were livid, believing that come December, Democrats - a minority in both houses of Congress - will be able to demand concessions to keep the government open ahead of key 2018 mid-term elections.

     

    That is likely to include extending protection against deportation to around 800,000 people brought to the United States illegally as children Nike Air Force 1 Femme Pas Cher , without providing funding for Trump's ""border wall"" with Mexico.

     

    Just hours earlier, House speaker Paul Ryan had described a deal linking the debt ceiling and hurricane funding as a ""ridiculous idea.""

     

    ""The Pelosi-Schumer-Trump deal is bad,"" said Republican Senator Ben Sasse, in a terse and censorious response to news of the agreement.

     

    Republican Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell distanced himself from the decision Nike Air Force 1 Pas Cher , referring to it as a deal between Trump and Democrats.

     

    ""His feeling was that we needed to come together and not create a picture of divisiveness at a time of genuine national crisis,"" McConnell said.

     

    Top Trump legislative advisor Marc Short said the move helped Congress and the White House ""clear the decks"" of thorny political problems and ""enables us to focus on tax reform.""

     

    Relations between Trump and Republican leaders have long been strained by policy disputes and the president's jabs on Twitter.

     

    In August, Trump publicly berated McConnell who he said ""screamed"" to replace Obama-era healthcare reforms for seven years and ""couldn't get it done.""

     

    Another senior administration official denied that Trump had sided with Democrats. ""He didn't go with the Democrats, he went with the country's needs http://www.airforce1utility.fr/ ,"" the official said.

     

    ""The country's needs, as he sees them right now, are to get many big legislative items tackled in short order by the end of this year,"" the official added.
