> Chicago soybean, wheat and corn futures surged to multi-month highs on Monday, driven by crop-damaging weather concerns in Brazil and Russia and anticipation of U.S. planting updates. StoneX's Arlan Suderman said funds are moving away from a two-year commodity deflation stance. Russian wheat dryness and frost and IKAR's forecast cut supported wheat.
