# Soybeans Come Back to Close Mixed on Friday

> Soybean futures finished mixed on Friday, while soybean meal gained slightly and soybean oil ranged from lower to higher. USDA reported a private sale of 136,000 metric tons of soybeans to China for the 2026/27 marketing year; Brazilian October soybean exports also fell from September and a year earlier. U.S. soybean export commitments are running ahead of the five-year average pace, while traders anticipate next week’s crop and supply estimates.

## Why it matters

The China sale and strong export-commitment pace support U.S. soybean demand, while expectations for larger U.S. production and weaker Brazilian exports provide competing signals. The mixed drivers leave the near-term price implication uncertain.
