Wheat prices were the only ones that closed higher on Monday on the Chicago Stock Exchange, at 10.80 dollars per bushel, which meant an increase of 2.44% intraday.
For its part, soybean futures presented the greatest decline with a fall of 1.94% to a level of 16.57 dollars per bushel, followed by corn, which lost 0.26% ending at 7.64 dollars per bushel.
The prices of these raw materials continue to be pressured by the war between Russia and Ukraine, as both countries have vast cereal-producing regions that are among the world’s main granaries. Its harvests account for a large part of world exports of various commodities, including wheat, vegetable oil, and corn. (With information from agencies).
