China said it will expand purchases of U.S. farm products only if Washington implements reciprocal tariff cuts, a condition that puts a proposed $17 billion annual farm purchase commitment in doubt. The $60 billion reciprocal tariff package proposed after the September Trump-Xi summit remains unfinalized.
Without a confirmed schedule for additional Chinese orders, US soybean, corn and livestock export demand looks weaker, which pressures US farm prices.
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 683 past bearish trade events, Corn moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and +0.3% over 20.
