US soybeans rose sharply in the week ending December 3, 2021, supported by commercial and technical buying, product strength, and a sale of 122,000 tons of 2021/22 beans to unknown destinations. Weekly flash sales totaled 548,100 tons, with Chinese demand affected by Hurricane Ida shipping delays and rapid Brazilian planting.
Strong export sales and product support lift US soybean and meal prices, while Brazil's fast planting pace limits export competition ahead. Chinese shipping delays keep near-term demand firm.
