Soybeans Review
Short-term price fluctuations do not influence long-term trends, cycles, and profitability. The majority, guided by price trends and emotions, concentrate on short-term trading noise rather than cyclical trends of price, time, and energy. This focus creates confusion, frustration, missed chances, and typically leaves them holding the bag during trend shifts.

Rural America Votes For Capitalism, But Gets More Centralize Solutions

President Donald Trump is preparing to announce a $12 billion aid package aimed at supporting U.S. farmers who have been hurt by low crop prices and the impact of tariff policies. The plan, mostly directed toward row-crop farmers, expect to deliver direct payments to help offset financial losses tied to reduced export demand and trade tensions. The aid will be rolled out using existing government programs and is intended as short-term relief while broader trade issues remain unresolved.

The media should spin the announcement to keep the majority voting red, but the truth is pretty simple. Farmers, a highly entrepreneurial group that largely votes in favor of free-market capitalism, will soon be accepting more centralized solutions. Look, we get it — “America First” through tariffs instead of taxes. But the empire and its spending are far too large to sustain on tariffs alone. The invisible hand is running the show, and it’s pushing back. How? Long-term interest rates, which are crucial for farming, housing, most everything in a consumption-based economy, are creeping higher again. It’s almost as if the invisible hand is ignoring the Fed. We’ll dig deeper into this in an upcoming US Bond Report update.

Long-Term Treasury Bond Yield


The Trump administration is preparing a $12 billion relief package for farmers, acknowledging the strain tariffs and trade tensions have placed on the agricultural sector. Although China committed to buying 12 million tons of U.S. soybeans by year-end, they’ve purchased only about 2.25 million tons, leaving nearly 10 million tons outstanding. This shortfall highlights that China isn’t meeting its pledged pace of purchases, pressuring U.S. farmers with excess supply and weaker prices. The aid package is intended to offset that impact while trade dynamics remain unresolved.

Today's Soybean Report update, 12/08/25 Report - Baby Needs A New Pair Of Shoes, illustrates how the invisible hand ignores today's political solutions. It's already discounting something else.

Pause But No Deal Within New Monroe Doctrine

China’s state-owned grain company COFCO has purchased three cargoes—around 180,000 metric tons—of U.S. soybeans for December–January delivery, marking its first buy from this year’s American harvest ahead of a summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. The move comes amid ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions that have cost American farmers billions in lost exports.

Despite the purchase, traders do not expect a major rebound in Chinese demand for U.S. soybeans, as China has already secured large supplies from Brazil and Argentina. Benchmark Chicago soybean futures rose to a 15-month high on hopes of improved trade relations. However, with China’s import needs largely met and preferences leaning toward higher-protein South American beans, any further U.S. sales are likely to remain limited. Traders estimate China could still buy up to 8 million tons for state reserves in the coming months, worth about $4 billion.

Trade Wars Have Consequences

U.S. producers face growing uncertainty as trade tensions rise, especially with China and Russia. China has halted U.S. soybean purchases for the first time since 2018, using agriculture as leverage ahead of high-stakes talks. President Trump plans to meet with President Xi on October 29, with demands including soybean buys, fentanyl controls, and no rare-earths squeeze. If unmet, Trump is threatening tariffs up to 100%, putting farm exports at risk. Meanwhile, U.S. trade officials are also reengaging with Russia and India, while Ag groups stress the importance of protecting the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) amid broader global trade pressures. Farmers are urged to prepare for continued market volatility and export uncertainty.

Soybean ETN


In a sharp escalation of the U.S.-China trade war, the United States exported zero soybeans to China in September, the first such drop since November 2018. Amid rising mutual distrust, both countries are accelerating efforts to cut dependencies, especially in agriculture. China's tariffs on U.S. farm products have reached about 34%, forcing American farmers, who harvested 4.3 billion bushels of soybeans, hunting for alternative markets.

The trade war, which many within the majority thought would place America on a winning path, has crushed the American farmer. Bean's primary downtrend, discussed further in the Soybeans Report, have been down for 17 months (see Chart). Updating the report beyond our last discussion has proven challenging. The loss of Energy (DI) during the government shutdown has obscured our view of accumulation or distribution within the cause-building (consolidation) that started in 2024.

Chart: Soybean Primary Trend


China’s past dependence on U.S. soybeans stemmed from its shift toward industrialization. The ongoing trade war, pitched as part of the America first agenda, has disrupted that relationship. The economic fallout is spreading beyond farm states like Kansas, Iowa, and North Dakota, where up to 70% of soybeans sold to China are produced. The disruption has caused land prices to decline, rising loan defaults, and increased farm foreclosures. The USDA is covering about a third of the export-related losses, but the sector has already lost billions.

Meanwhile, China has restructured its supply chain. Brazil and Argentina account for 85% and 9% of total imports. China is also stockpiling reserves to avoid future leverage by foreign suppliers.

U.S. net farm income for row crop producers is projected to drop 20% this year, mainly due to lost soybean exports, which have plummeted from 985 million bushels to 218 million year-over-year.

South American nations are increasing output and seizing market share. Global agricultural trade flows are shifting fast, and few within the Agricultural department seem worried about it. If U.S.–China negotiations fail before Brazil’s next harvest, American farmers could face even deeper losses, potential capital flight, and tighter trade restrictions. Please join the Soybean, Corn, and Wheat Report to better track the invisible hand. Markets move faster than official policy. Official policy that the computer warned through long-standing primary trends and energy would cause major problems.

Soybeans Caught In Modernized Version of The Monroe Doctrine

A sharp decline in U.S. soybean exports to China is threatening more than just farmers — it could soon affect trucking, rail freight, and port operations nationwide. China, once the largest buyer of American soybeans, has shifted to South American suppliers due to ongoing trade tensions and high tariffs. With no new soybean orders from China for the 2025–2026 crop year, freight demand is expected to fall sharply, impacting jobs and infrastructure, especially in top soybean-producing states like Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota. Midwest soybeans are typically shipped by rail to ports in the Pacific Northwest, which could now see reduced activity.
