Trump's China visit may be postponed, causing market expectations for U.S. soybean sales to decline, which has led to a sharp drop in CBOT soybean prices. China may increase purchases of U.S. soybeans based on last year's trade agreement, and if the U.S.-China leadership meeting takes place, there could be an opportunity for prices to rebound. Brazil has adjusted its soybean inspection rules for China, which will affect future shipment schedules.

Trump’s visit to China may be delayed, which could dampen market expectations for additional U.S. soybean sales to China. Coupled with cooling geopolitical trade tensions, CBOT soybean futures fell sharply overnight, with geopolitical risk premiums largely unwound. Reports indicate that China may still purchase more U.S. soybeans in the future based on last October’s trade agreement. If subsequent U.S.-China leader meetings are fulfilled, there is still potential for a rebound in CBOT soybean futures. In the short term, focus on the support level around 1100 cents for the May U.S. soybean contract. Brazilian media Globo Rural reports that the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture has adjusted inspection rules for soybean shipments to China, aiming to ease shipping bottlenecks. Attention is on Brazil’s shipping pace to China in March and April. If the delayed port arrival theme is disproven, and given the relatively healthy crush margins and ample supply, the market may correct soybean meal valuations.
