CHICAGO, March 9 (Xinhua) -- Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) agricultural futures traded mixed on Monday morning, with soybeans falling double digits as world stocks plunged on coronavirus fears.
As of 1642 GMT, the most active soybean contract for May delivery was down 15.75 cents to 8.755 U.S. dollars per bushel. May corn was down 3.5 cents to 3.725 dollars per bushel. May wheat was up 1 cent to 5.1675 dollars per bushel.
