A new session of profit-taking and technical selling for the soybeanslisted on the Cbot this Wednesday. The official announcement from theUSDA on the sale of 470 000 t of seeds originating in United States to the China was not enough to give prices momentum. The rumor the previous day about this purchase had already been factored into prices. However, it is worth noting that it is the return of China to purchases after nearly two weeks of absence from international markets. Operators now expect further purchasing operations from it. Market participants are paying closer attention to weather conditions in the United States, with rain returning in some regions, meaning a further delay to the harvest but, according to observers, no impact on quality for the time being.
