Chinese soybean-crush volumes fell 14.6% over two weeks to 2.15 million tonnes in the week ending October 30, while soybean meal stocks rose 16.1% to 1.28 million tonnes.

Rising inventories despite lower meal output point to demand weakening faster than supply, a bearish signal for soybean meal prices. Negative crush margins may further curb processing, which could eventually limit the downside.
