Soybeans Fall, Corn Mixed Amid China Demand Concerns
Imagine farmers growing lots of soybeans and corn.
The price of soybeans went down because China, a big buyer, isn't buying as much.
Corn prices are mixed due to a predicted large harvest but also from the pressure of falling soybean prices.
Wheat prices are also going down because there's a lot of wheat available worldwide.
This is happening because of worries about trade with China and how much food the farmers will grow.
Some experts think the crop may be smaller than expected, but not selling to China makes the situation uncertain.
U.S. soybean futures declined for the third straight day.
Lack of sales to China contributed to the soybean price drop.
Corn prices were mixed amid expectations of a record-large U.S. crop.
Wheat prices fell to fresh contract lows due to ample global supplies.
Trade tensions between the U.S. and China influenced market dynamics.
