U.S. grain and soybean futures hit one-week highs on July 18 as markets stabilized after falling to 10-year lows. Chinese buyers shifted to Brazilian beans due to a 25 percent tariff on U.S. soy, pushing Brazilian premiums higher, while U.S. Gulf beans were priced at a 25 percent discount to Brazil.
November soybeans ended at $8.57 3/4.
The discount on U.S. Gulf beans offsets the Chinese tariff for buyers and gives the market a floor, though Chinese demand remains the key driver of prices.
