CBoT soybeans bounce

CHICAGO: Chicago soybean prices firmed on Friday in a bargain-buying bounce after a sharp fall on Thursday, as traders assessed prospects for more US sales to China after the trade war truce between the countries.

Wheat fell on the smaller-than-hoped recent US sales to China, with the focus returning to large global supplies. Corn was little changed but faced headwinds from larger supplies as the US harvest approaches completion.

Chicago Board of Trade most-active soybeans rose 9-1/2 cents to end at USD11.17 a bushel. Wheat settled down 7-3/4 cents to USD5.27-3/4 a bushel, while corn finished down 1-1/2 cents at USD4.27-1/4 a bushel.
