SYDNEY- US soybean futures gained for a fourth consecutive session on Thursday, driven by strong US economic data, although concerns about the impact of the fast-spreading coronavirus capped gains.
Wheat was little changed, while corn fell for a second straight session.
Data on Wednesday showed US private payrolls jumped the most in nearly 5 years in January, suggesting the economy could continue to grow moderately this year even as consumer spending slows.
