Wheat jumps 1%, rising for 2nd session on strong demand
SINGAPORE, July 18 (Reuters) -Chicago wheat futures gained more ground on Thursday with rising demand from importers underpinning the market, which dropped to its lowest in four months earlier this week.
Corn and soybeans ticked higher, although gains were limited due to expectations of favourable crop weather in the U.S. Midwest.
