Chicago March soybean futures rose 3.7% to $508.5/t and soybean oil climbed 3.5% to a seven-year high of $983/t after China reportedly bought a large consignment of U.S. corn. Argentina's carriers halted their strike, while Malaysian palm oil futures edged up 0.7% under pressure from weak demand and higher output.
Strong Chinese U.S. corn buying and firm soy oil prices lift feed input costs, while the end of Argentine strikes removes a logistical support factor for soy oil.
