The Australian dollar rose after China's state-owned COFCO bought three US soybean cargoes, according to Reuters trade sources. The currency also gained on Australian CPI data that reduced the likelihood of near-term RBA cuts.
COFCO purchases of US soybeans signal renewed Chinese buying ahead of a leaders' meeting, supporting US soybean prices and demand expectations.
After 696 past bullish trade events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.9%), and +0.7% over 20.
