CHICAGO, May 14 (Xinhua) -- Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) agricultural commodities traded mixed on Monday morning, with soybean futures rising over 10 cents amid news of easing trade tensions between China and the United States.

China's Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday the Chinese side had accepted an invitation from the United States, agreeing to send a delegation to visit the country at a "proper time" for further economic and trade consultations.

China is welcoming news from U.S. President Donald Trump of a possible easing of economic sanctions against embattled Chinese firm ZTE.

China appreciates the U.S. position on Chinese telecom equipment maker ZTE, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said on Monday.
