Sino - US talks had no new additional news, and the previous tariffs were extended for 3 months. The demand outlook for US soybeans was suppressed. The new - season US soybeans were growing well, with a latest weekly good - to - excellent rate of 70%, higher than the market - expected 67%, the previous week's 68%, and the same period last year's 67%. Only 5% of the US soybean planting areas were affected by drought, and the soil moisture had some leeway. The expectation of a bumper harvest was gradually strengthening. Although the US had reached trade agreements with many countries recently, including an agreement with Indonesia where Indonesia needs to purchase $4.5 billion worth of agricultural products from the US, China, the largest exporter of US soybeans, still maintained a 23% import tariff on US soybeans. It was expected that the export of new - season US soybeans would decline inevitably, and US soybeans were running weakly with insufficient recent bullish factors [6] - Domestic Situation: Domestic soybean meal was stronger than the external market, currently in a state of wide reality and tight expectation. The import window for US soybeans is in the fourth quarter. As the time approaches, there are topics and themes for soybean meal to rise, but it should also be noted that China has started importing Argentine soybean meal, and the export tax rate of Argentine soybeans has recently decreased. Although there is an expectation of an increase in the cost of imported soybeans in China in the fourth quarter, the imagination space may be relatively limited [6] 2.
