Wheat prices in Chicago saw a surge of over 2% on Monday due to increased tensions in the Black Sea, with the US authorizing Ukraine to use American missiles, leading to concerns about the global cereal market. The depreciation of the Dollar Index also contributed to the rise in wheat prices. Meanwhile, the soybean complex experienced varied performance due to uncertainties, despite the US soybean crush reaching a new high of 200 Mbu. The USDA reported significant sales of soybeans, soybean oil, and soybean meal to Mexico, India, and the Philippines respectively.
