Why Sanderson Farms Stock Jumped Today

Shares of Sanderson Farms (NASDAQ: SAFM) were moving up in the pecking order today after the poultry processor got a boost on news that China was expected to lift its ban on U.S. poultry imports as part of ongoing trade negotiations.

As a result, Sanderson Farms was trading up 13.7% as of 10:55 a.m. EDT Monday. Other poultry processors, including Pilgrim's Pride (NASDAQ: PPC) and Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN), were up as well, gaining 5.7% and 3.3%, respectively.
