Analyst Dan Braun argues that a US-China trade pact would only benefit U.S. soybeans if China buys when the market is favorable, while committed volumes could damage the U.S. market. Roughly 60% of U.S. soybean exports went to China before the trade war, and U.S. exports to the rest of the world rose sharply in 2018.
Fixed purchase commitments could pull U.S. soybeans away from competitive world markets and weigh on prices over the longer term, while the rest-of-world outlet has already absorbed much of the lost China volume.
