China has been buying some U.S. soybeans in recent days, though daily amounts are smaller than in past periods. Buying from unknown destinations, often assumed to be China, adds to the picture.
Brazilian corn shipments to China have also risen sharply.
Renewed Chinese soybean purchases support U.S. soy export demand and prices. Heavier Brazilian corn flows to China add export competition for U.S. corn.
