China has turned to cheaper Brazilian soybeans after meeting a US purchase pledge, according to the headline. The cited article body covers unrelated Philippine economic news, so the buying details are not confirmed in the text.
A shift toward Brazilian beans keeps Chinese demand for US soybeans lower than it would be otherwise, which weighs on US soybean prices and export basis. Brazilian supply priced at a discount may cap soybean meal support as well.
After 803 past bearish trade events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.7%), and +0.9% over 20.
After 224 past neutral trade events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (43% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.2%), and -0.2% over 20.
