description: "U.S. crop futures surged after the White House confirmed China will purchase $17B in U.S. agricultural goods through 2028. This agreement, alongside a soybean purchase pledge, boosted optimism for increased demand, particularly for corn. On the Chicago Board of Trade, wheat rose 4.4%, corn climbed 4.2%, and soybeans jumped 2.9%. The deal is seen as bullish for U.S. corn exports, potentially tightening supply forecasts."
