U.S. soybeans are now 93% planted; 81% of this crop has emerged. The crop condition is 81% good-to-excellent.
China has been reported to have purchased 390,000 tonnes of U.S. soybeans this week for delivery in the 2020/2021 marketing year.  Some news articles indicate that China has now bought 700,000 tonnes to 1.1 million tonnes of U.S. soybeans over the past few weeks. A portion of these sales are expected to be shipped in the 2019/2020 marketing year, while the remaining amount will be shipped in the 2020/2021 marketing year.

WHEAT:
The U.S. winter wheat crop is 15% harvested, which is on pace with the five-year average. Harvest pressure continues to push the Chicago futures lower.
Global wheat prices have been under pressure following last week’s USDA report.  This report increased world wheat production estimates by 4.9 million tonnes along with its forecast of global stocks.
