- The S&P GS Agriculture Index was mostly unchanged WOW, as the trade deal signing failed to provide any new information, shifting the market focus away from potentially Chinese purchases and back to current market fundamentals.
- ICE NY Cocoa rose 8.3% WOW, on better-than-expected Q4 2019 demand, as Asian grindings came in above average analyst estimates.
