US weekly export sales for old-crop soybeans and wheat rose and beat trade forecasts, while old-crop corn sales fell 47% from the prior week. China bought about 6.1 million bushels of 2017-18 soybeans in a daily report.
Strong soybean and wheat export demand supports US prices, while softer corn sales offer little support, and futures reacted only modestly.
