# Soybean Market: China's Demand Shift and Ample Global Supply — CMB News

> CMB News reports that China's soybean demand is structurally weakening in the 2026/27 season, with imports expected to drop sharply. Global supply remains ample, and China's crop quality is reported as good. Near-term CBOT futures recovered about 3% last week from recent lows on short covering.

## Why it matters

Lower Chinese import needs and ample global supply cap soybean price upside for US, Brazilian and Black Sea exporters. Rallies may be sold rather than signaling a new bull market.
