Soybean futures reportedly reached approximately $12.5 per bushel, marking their highest price point since May 2024, as stated by Hellenic Shipping News. This increase is attributed to strong demand from China for US supplies.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported a private sale of 333,000 metric tons of US soybeans to China. This specific transaction is designated for delivery during the 2026/27 marketing year.

This reported sale contributes to a broader trend of increased purchasing activity from China, which is identified as the world's largest importer of soybeans. The sustained demand from this key market is a significant factor in the current price rally.
