US soybean futures finished Friday sharply higher as the November contract expired, with contracts up 9½ to 16 cents. January 2027 soybeans settled at $12.31½ per bushel, a weekly gain of 37¾ cents.
Soymeal and soybean oil also advanced, and USDA reported fresh private export sales to China, Vietnam and unknown buyers.
Fresh Chinese and other export demand supports soybean prices, and firmer soybean complex values raise the cost of soybean meal used in feed formulations. Weekly export sales slipping to a four-week low, however, signals that demand momentum may be fading ahead of South American harvest data.
