Exporters sold 266,000 tonnes of US soyabeans to China and 264,000 tonnes to unknown destinations, according to the US Department of Agriculture, marking the 13th consecutive business day of sales to China.
The US soyabean crop was 6% harvested, matching the five-year average and just ahead of the average analyst estimate of 5%, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s crop conditions report released Monday after the markets closed. Soyabean ratings held steady with 63% of the crop rated good-to-excellent while analysts on average had expected a 1-point decline.
