> Chicago soybeans slid to a nearly six-week low on Wednesday amid harvest pressure and China's absence from US purchases, with the most-active contract at $10.10. Chinese buyers booked at least 10 cargoes of Argentine soybeans after Argentina temporarily eliminated export taxes, while Trump and Xi's call produced no agricultural news.
