Asian markets rose on December 20 as Japanese stocks extended gains after the BOJ kept its ultra-loose policy and Governor Ueda struck a dovish tone. The People's Bank of China held its one-year loan prime rate at 3.45% and its five-year rate at 4.2%.
China's CSI 300 closed 1.1% lower while Australia's ASX 200 hit a 10-month high.
Unchanged Chinese lending rates and a dovish BOJ leave near-term demand and currency pressure on feed commodities largely unchanged, so there is no clear price signal for feed buyers.
