The first trading day of the week saw an increase in crop market prices, with wheat and corn rising by 1.2 percent, and soybeans by 0.3 percent in Chicago, while rapeseed fell by 0.5 percent. In Europe, mill wheat, canola and fodder wheat also saw a surplus, but corn prices fell. The price level of US soybean and corn futures rose due to their previous low rates, but the increase was limited by the abundant supply from South America. The US and Brazil, the world's largest soybean exporter, are in competition for export sales to importers such as China.
