> INTL FC Stone analyst Arlan Suderman says markets continue to erode while awaiting a US-China trade resolution, with a large soybean carryout and reports that Chinese hog feeding could be down 20%. He suggests corn could lead grains higher because most non-US corn markets run on just-in-time supply.
