MEXICO CITY (Dow Jones)--Physical trading was quiet this week in the Mexican cash grain markets as gains from lower U.S. prices were erased by a sharp weakening in the peso, traders and importers said Friday. Purchasing prices in key markets for imported yellow corn and sorghum fell in the U.S. but rose slightly in Mexico as the peso weakened some 4% from the week-ago level. The Mexican peso this week traded in a range between MXN13.2420 and MXN13.6880 against the U.S. dollar, after trading last week between MXN13.0875 and MXN13.2350 to the dollar. "The market is really quiet, with the peso weakening again there just hasn't been a lot of buying interest and demand is really poor," said one physicals trader with an importer in central Mexico's Bajio grains region. Most activity was reported in the local market for Mexico's new 2008-09 fall-winter harvest in the key northern grains state of Sinaloa, which is at its peak right now. Some trade also was reported in the soy markets, where import prices for both soybean and soymeal dropped so substantially from the week-ago level that overall Peso-based purchasing prices also fell despite the weaker currency. Corn and wheat futures closed weaker Friday at the Chicago Board of Trade, with July corn ending down 4 1/2 cents at $3.25 1/4 a bushel and September wheat settling 4 1/2 cents lower at $5.18 a bushel. Soy products, meanwhile, also closed mixed, with July soybeans up 20 1/2 cents at $11.31 a bushel but July soymeal settling $2.00 weaker at $288.00 a bushel.
