# US soybean prices jump after Trump urges China to quadruple orders | Reuters

> US soybean futures rose to a two-week high on August 11, 2025 after President Trump urged China to quadruple its purchases of American soybeans ahead of a tariff truce deadline. The White House said the China-US tariff truce was being extended. Analysts called quadrupling orders highly unlikely.

## Why it matters

China has not pre-booked any new-crop US soybeans, so the price rally depends on whether actual Chinese purchases follow. Without them, prices are likely to give back gains and US export sales risk falling short.
