USDA export sales data showed China bought about 31,400 tons of U.S. pork and 71,000 tons of soybeans in the latest week. Overall old and new crop corn, soybean, wheat and product sales for the week ending May 16 were within analyst estimates, with old crop wheat sales at a marketing-year low.
Chinese purchases of U.S. soybeans and pork are a modest positive for demand during a stalled trade dispute, though weak wheat and corn sales limit upside for those grains.
