Chicago soybean futures fell over 2% Monday, dropping below $12 per bushel, as potential delays in US-China trade talks threatened demand from China, the world’s largest soybean importer. The decline follows US President Donald Trump’s warning that a summit with China’s Xi Jinping could be postponed unless Beijing intervenes to ease tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Soybeans are highly sensitive to US-China relations, as China accounts for a significant share of American soybean exports, making prices vulnerable to diplomatic strains. The drop reflects broader market concerns over trade uncertainty, with agricultural commodities often acting as a barometer for geopolitical and economic friction between the two nations. Analysts note the delay could prolong tariffs and trade barriers, further pressuring soybean prices amid already volatile global supply chains.

Soybean prices are particularly vulnerable to tensions between the two sides as China is a major buyer of American produce.
