U.S. corn and soybean futures climbed Wednesday as markets reacted to broader trade optimism and technical buying, with soybeans notably rising 11 cents.
Traders said improved demand signals from export news, particularly China’s fulfillment of soybean purchases, helped lift sentiment.
Corn futures also edged higher, supported by export sales reports showing stronger commitments to several destinations and seasonal crop inspection data.
Market analysts cautioned that prices remain volatile, sensitive to global weather patterns, currency movements and trade policy shifts that could quickly alter outlooks.
Despite the uptick, overall export sales volumes for the marketing year remain mixed, leaving producers watching closely for sustained buyer interest.
