Soybean prices climbed to their highest level in three months as stronger demand from China supported global agricultural markets. Futures on the Chicago Board of Trade rose for a second straight session, reflecting renewed buying interest.
Market sentiment improved after reports suggested China may increase soybean purchases from the United States. Statements linked to Donald Trump and Xi Jinping regarding a possible extension of their trade truce also helped steady global commodity markets.
Wheat and corn prices also edged higher, although gains were limited due to ample global supplies. Analysts say seasonal holidays in Asia may temporarily slow demand, but expectations of continued Chinese buying are keeping soybean prices firm.
