Brazilian and US soybean export prices stayed above $500/mt despite recent futures declines, according to S&P Global sources. Chinese buyers are more cautious but still prefer Brazilian beans, and USDA confirmed only 264,000 mt of US sales to China in the latest week.
Persistent high origin prices and slowing Chinese US purchases weigh on US export demand, while Brazil keeps its share of Chinese demand, which supports Brazilian soy basis strength.
