On July 21, 2020 Chicago soybean futures fell despite a 126,000-tonne USDA-reported booking by China, after USDA rated 69 percent of soybeans good to excellent versus 67 percent expected. CBOT corn fell 5.5 cents to $3.2275 on better crop conditions, while wheat rose 5.75 cents to $5.2775.
Reports also said China plans to sell state-reserve rice and wheat to feed producers facing high corn prices.
Chinese sales of reserve wheat and rice to feed producers may reduce its need for US corn, which is bearish for corn, while better US crop ratings cap soybean gains.
