Chinese importers committed to US soybean purchases after prices fell during the pandemic, with USDA reporting a 198,000-tonne sale for 2019-20 delivery on April 22. Китай has pledged 12.623 million tonnes of soybean purchases in the marketing year to date versus 12.922 million a year earlier.
Lower prices are drawing Chinese buyers into US soybeans, supporting US export demand. Brazilian and Argentine harvests still limit the upside.
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.
