   Soybeans Soar and Wheat Recovers From More Early Selling

   Pressured by the not so trustworthy Russian claim that they would open
shipping corridors for the export of Ukraine grain in return for some sanctions
being lifted, wheat rallied in disbelief, before finishing mixed. The key is
that lifted sanctions as a condition is unlikely to happen any time soon.
Soybeans soared, led by spot July, as products also rallied sharply, bean oil
benefitting from the surge in crude oil and old-crop soy exports keep creeping
higher.
