U.S. corn futures rise over 2 pct on talk of China buying, slow planting

May 16 (Reuters) - U.S. corn futures surged more than 2 percent in early Asian trading on Monday after talk of renewed buying of U.S. corn by China and expectations that a U.S. government report will show the pace of planting of the U.S. crop remains behind schedule.

Chicago Board of Trade corn for July delivery Cc1 climbed 2.42 percent to $6.98-1/2 per bushel as buyers took advantage of last week's 0.5 percent dip, the second straight week of falls.
