Private exporters reported several US soybean sales in October, including 9.7 million bushels to China and 8.9 million bushels to unknown destinations. Earlier reports showed corn sales to Mexico and soybean sales to China and Taiwan for the 2022/23 marketing year.
Continued flash sales to China support US soybean export demand and near-term prices, though the routine nature of the reports limits their individual impact.
