Macquarie upgraded Monsanto (NYSE: MON) from Neutral to Outperform with a price target of $117.00 (from $105). Analysts believe concerns about genetically modified wheat found in Oregon and potential second half weakness are overdone.

This weekend it was reported that China approved three new strains of genetically-modified (GM) soybeans and one new variety of corn for import, including Intacta, a key product for Monsanto.
