# US-China trade tensions hurt Argentine soybean exports - Chinadaily.com.cn

> Argentine analyst Julio Calzada of Rosario's Board of Trade says the US-China trade dispute has strongly affected grain markets and Chicago soybean prices. He notes cheaper soybeans cut Argentine producer income and US soymeal entering Europe competes with Argentina's exports there. Soybean oil in Argentina is reported below $600 per ton.

## Why it matters

Lower Chicago soybean prices and added US soymeal competition in Europe weigh on global soymeal and soyoil values. Argentine farmer income and export earnings fall, which can affect Argentine selling pace.
