CME farm markets closed near daily highs after the US and China phase one trade agreement was signed by President Trump. March corn closed 3 1/4 cents higher at $3.81, January soybeans rose 9 1/4 cents to $9.07 1/2, and March wheat finished 2 1/4 cents higher at $5.32 1/2.
Soymeal gained $2.70 to $296.90 and soybean oil rose to 32.60 cents per pound.
