CHICAGO, July 6 (Reuters) - Benchmark Chicago corn and soybean futures climbed to one-month highs on Monday, each rising nearly 4%, as worries about crop weather in the Midwest and Europe, and speculation about Chinese demand, spurred buying after a U.S. holiday weekend. Ahead of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s weekly crop progress report due later on Monday, analysts surveyed by Reuters on average expected the agency to raise its U.S. soybean ratings while leaving corn ratings unchanged. A smaller-than-expected quarterly reading of U.S. corn stocks released by the USDA last week magnified the importance of 2026 production prospects. ayx
