CBOT soybean and wheat futures rose on 20 March 2020 on Chinese buying of US commodities, while corn closed lower. Chinese importers signed deals for US corn and wheat in their first major purchases since the Phase 1 deal, and unknown buyers booked 110,000 tonnes of US soybeans.
Chinese purchases under the Phase 1 deal support export demand for US grains, while weak ethanol expectations keep corn pressured.
