Wheat was the only rural commodity to post gains amid talks that cheaper prices will encourage livestock producers to use wheat instead of corn. Wheat also received a boost after Iraq issued a tender to buy 50,000 tonnes of the grain.

Coffee slumped to a one-week low as US stockpiles surged to the highest level in three years. Coffee stocks at ICE Futures US warehouses reached 2.71 million bags on Wednesday, the most since spring 2010.
