# Soybean Futures Fall to 11-Week Low as Chinese Buying Slows

> CBOT soybean futures fell to an 11-week low, with the most-active contract down 0.66% to $12.06 a bushel as Chinese buying slowed. USDA reported that the U.S. soybean harvest was 88% complete, ahead of the five-year average, and confirmed a 136,000-tonne sale to China for 2026/27 delivery; the agency has forecast a record-large crop.

## Why it matters

Slower Chinese demand and a fast, large U.S. harvest add to available supply and weigh on soybean prices. A weaker Brazilian real and elevated U.S. freight costs also make U.S. exports less competitive.
