China buys at least 3 cargoes of US soybeans

CHICAGO: Chinese importers bought at least 3 cargoes of US soybeans on Monday, or about 180,000 tonnes, as officials from the two countries are meeting for the first face-to-face talks since a trade war truce agreement last month, two traders with knowledge of the deals said.

One of the traders said sales total was closer to 15 cargoes, or about 900,000 tonnes, and will be shipped from January through March from terminals in the Pacific Northwest and along the US Gulf Coast.
