What it is and what moves it
Soybeans are crushed into meal for animal feed and oil for cooking and biodiesel. Brazil and the US grow most of them, and China buys most of what is traded.
What tends to move the price
- Chinese demand for animal feed.
- Harvests in Brazil and the US, which grow in opposite seasons.
- Trade disputes, which can redirect China's buying between the two.
Soybeans are a trade between American and Brazilian farmers and China's pig and chicken farms.
