Chinese state-owned companies bought at least 20 cargoes, about 1.3 million tonnes, of US soybeans for delivery December to March. Analysts note most buying comes from state firms because US beans remain expensive for private importers, and the 13% tariff disadvantages US supply.
Resumed Chinese state demand supports US soybean prices and export flows, but reliance on state buyers and the tariff gap limit the sustainability of the rally.
