Wheat Jumps 2%, Corn Gains 1.4% as US-China Talks Lift Hopes and Black Sea Risks Persist

Summary
Chicago wheat futures climbed as much as 2% on Monday—the biggest intraday rise in almost two weeks—before trimming gains, while corn rose as much as 1.4%, its strongest move in 10 days.
Positive initial US-China trade talks drove the rally after both sides described the discussions favorably, boosting expectations for a leaders’ summit later this week.
Black Sea disruptions added support to grain prices, reinforcing the trade-driven move in both wheat and corn.
The gains show grain markets reacting to both demand optimism from potential US-China progress and supply-risk concerns from a key export region.
