China's soybean crush rate fell to a year-to-date low of 53.5% at the start of August as negative crush margins forced plants to cut runs. Crushers reduced soybean purchases, and soybean prices fell.

Lower Chinese crush cuts soybean and meal demand, which is bearish for soybeans and soybean meal prices. Weak soybean oil demand also weighs on the oil side of the crush.
