This week, Asian buyers have stepped up their corn purchases. According to traders, progress in trade talks between the United States and China could lead to higher corn prices in the coming weeks if China buys American grain again. In addition, Asian importers are concerned about a possible increase in dry cargo freight costs, which will increase transportation costs.
