# China Extends Its Pause on 24% Tariffs on US Goods to January as Washington Presses Beijing on Soybean and Farm Purchases

> China extended its suspension of an additional 24% tariff on US goods for two months, through January 10, while retaining a separate 10% tariff. US officials pressed Beijing to implement its commitments, including annual purchases of 25 million tonnes of US soybeans for three years; Chicago soybean futures rose as much as 0.7%.

## Why it matters

Keeping the additional tariff suspended reduces a barrier to US agricultural exports, while the purchase commitment could support US soybean demand if fulfilled. The extension is supportive for soybean prices, though implementation remains uncertain.
