Nov 11 (Reuters) - Export premiums for corn at the U.S. Gulf Coast held mostly steady on Monday amid light demand as futures values rose by nearly 2 percent, traders said. * Wheat and soybean export premiums were also unchanged in quiet trade. * FOB basis offers for corn, soy and wheat shipments in November and much of December were unquoted as Gulf export facilities have little to no loading capacity available following big forward sales earlier this year. * U.S. corn remained competitively priced on the world market for January through March shipments. Mexican importersmade price inquiries for that period on Monday, traders said. * Corn futures on the Chicago Board of Trade jumped nearly 2 percent, the sharpest rise since August. The price increase triggered moderate farmer selling, which helped replenish somewhat the grain marketing pipeline. * Soybean demand was light. Chinese importers' U.S. soybean needs have been filled for the near term and they have been eyeing early 2014 shipments. * The U.S. Department of Agriculture did not release weekly export inspections or crop progress and condition reports on Monday as the government was closed for the Veterans Day federal holiday.
