China and the United States held their first Board of Trade meeting by video on November 13, discussing tariff reductions, agricultural trade and implementation of earlier agreements. The reciprocal arrangement covers about $30 billion of goods on each side, with more than 90 percent expected to be exempt from additional tariffs, and it takes effect only after domestic legal procedures are completed.
Expected exemptions on about $30 billion of goods could ease trade flows for US farm products once implemented, supporting export demand for soybeans and grains. Timing remains uncertain, so the price effect is modest for now.
After 253 past neutral trade events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.7%), and -0.2% over 20.
