# Chicago continues in mixed territory – fyo

> Chicago soybean futures traded with a positive bias after reaching a 12-week low, while the U.S. harvest and expectations for a record crop weighed on prices. Analysts expected the USDA to raise its U.S. soybean production estimate, and the agency confirmed a sale of 136,000 tonnes of soybeans to China for the 2026/27 season. USDA staff in Beijing projected Chinese soybean imports of 110 million tonnes, below the agency’s official 115-million-tonne forecast; Brazil’s October soybean exports were also lower than a year earlier.

## Why it matters

Record-crop expectations, lower projected Chinese imports, and the ongoing U.S. harvest point to ample supply and could pressure soybeans, while the confirmed sale provides some demand support. The article also cites a possible reduction in the USDA’s U.S. corn production estimate, which could be supportive for corn if confirmed.
