  "account": "Soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade surged on Monday as market participants anticipated a forthcoming meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, set to take place on Thursday. The prospective summit attracted traders' attention due to China's status as the globe's premier soybean purchaser. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed he held constructive discussions with Chinese officials regarding trade matters over the weekend. The most-traded soybean futures surged 23-1/2 cents to $13.27 per bushel by 12:30 p.m. CDT. The White House had announced in May that China had committed to purchasing a minimum of $17 billion worth of US agricultural products in 2026, 2027, and 2028 following prior meetings between Trump and Xi. CBOT corn climbed 13-1/2 cents to $5.41 per bushel, while wheat gained 12 cents to $7.26-1/4 per bushel. Wheat prices increased following drone assaults launched by Ukraine and Russia, which dampened expectations of a de-escalation in their conflict, thereby curtailing Black Sea grain exports from both nations.",
