USDA reported Chinese buyers purchased 340,000 metric tons (about 12.5 million bushels) of US hard red winter wheat for 2020/21 delivery, the first large step toward filling China's wheat tariff-rate quota. US Wheat Associates said further purchases were rumored.
Chinese buying under the Phase One deal draws down US exportable HRW supplies and supports prices, while the TRQ commitment points to further demand.
