Soybeans, corn and wheat futures rallied on fund and technical buying, with November soybeans reaching a two-year high. China bought 132,000 tons of 2020/21 US soybeans and 210,000 tons of US corn, and the corn purchase already exceeds USDA's full-year China import estimate.
A 100,000-ton US soymeal sale to unknown destinations was also reported.
