China bought $67 million worth of U.S. soybeans, about 204,000 tonnes, ahead of working-level trade talks. China also said it would exempt American pork and soybeans from additional tariffs taking effect this month, and the U.S. delayed new tariffs to October 15.
Confirmed Chinese purchases and tariff exclusions support U.S. soybean export demand and sentiment, though full tariffs still apply and a broader deal remains uncertain.
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.
