Soybean futures are well above $10 a bushel and at a two-month high following bullish export news. That news included a rise in weekly sales plus USDA reporting two daily sales with one to China and the other to unknown destinations.
Weekly wheat sales were better than expected. Plus there is talk that U.S. wheat prices are now competitive with other origins, which should help exports. Corn futures are higher and largely following soybeans and wheat.
