On April 20 the price of soybeans rose, closing at US$641.82 a tonbringing it one step closer to reaching its all-time high on September 4, 2012, when it traded at $650.74.

The ton of wheat also grows. This session rises 1.3% to US$387.55. A large wheat purchase by Egypt and a report that the US government may retroactively increase the ethanol blending mandate drives up the value of the grain.

Wheat futures encountered technical resistance on Wednesday after a two-day pullback earlier in the week, fueled by diplomatic efforts to create a Black Sea shipping channel for Ukrainian grain.

For its part, corn fell slightly 0.07% to US$287.69.
