Chicago soybean futures rose above US$456 per tonne, a level last seen about three weeks earlier. Importers from China bought 134,000 tonnes of US-origin soybeans and Vietnam bought 120,000 tonnes, with a further 100,000 tonnes of undisclosed destination, all for shipment in the 2026/27 cycle.
Fresh purchases of US soybeans by China and Vietnam support export demand and firm prices for soybeans and meal. Buyers should expect steadier offers in the near term.
After 698 past bullish trade events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.9%), and +0.7% over 20.
