Support purchases for northeast China japonica rice have started to set a price floor, while farmer grain sales are slow and rice mills are buying cautiously. Indica rice procurement is running faster than last year, and quality varieties are firm while common varieties face limited upside.
Government price support sets a floor for Chinese rice, but weak mill demand limits upside, so domestic rice prices are likely to stay range-bound with little impact on global feed grain prices.
After 100 past neutral policy events, RICE moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -2.6% to +2.3%), and +0.7% over 20.
