China bought 20,000 metric tons of U.S. soybean oil, the biggest such deal since November 2016 and a rare purchase for the top soybean importer. Soybean oil futures rose as much as 1.5% in Chicago on the news.

After 224 past bullish trade events, Soybean Oil moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.5% to +2.1%), and -0.5% over 20.
