China plans to buy more meat, dairy and grains from Latin America, Europe and the Pacific as US trade tensions escalate. Expected purchases include European pork, Brazilian and Australian beef, and more Australian sorghum.
Brazil and Argentina are expected to supply more soybeans because of the higher US duties.
Reallocating Chinese demand to Brazil, Argentina and Australia changes global export flows and supports those origins' prices. US exporters lose share in China, which weighs on US soybean and sorghum prices.
After 250 past neutral trade events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and -0.2% over 20.
