The American Soybean Association asked the Trump administration to remove a remaining 10% tariff on U.S. soybeans sold to China, arguing it disadvantages U.S. exporters against Brazil and other South American suppliers. ASA President Scott Metzger said China has bought about 15 million metric tons toward its 25 million ton annual commitment for 2026 and urged a longer suspension of Section 301 port fees.
Removing the tariff would let private Chinese importers buy more U.S. beans, which could tighten U.S. export availability and support soybean prices relative to Brazilian supply.
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.
