Maybe I should have used the words, "negatively affect" the seller....

At this point these are PROPOSED tariffs and China bought soybeans this morning at a discount after their announcement.

Could be interesting trade negotiations.

Doesn't change the reality of my post. Whether those tariffs are proposed or a threat. Markets affected...

China is interesting....they announce a tariff then start buying at a lower price....if they had bought before they will be allowed to cancel and buy at a lower price....

Isn't that like market manipulation?

Can a farmer cancel at lower prices and re-sell at higher prices?

Unfortunately this is like the board game of Axis and Allies. China will source all the can from the allies of the East 1st. China is worlds largest importer of Crude, and as of last week all their purchases of crude are in Yuan. The USD is losing its stranglehold on the world stage. Santions and tarriffs are accelerating the geopolitical shift to the East.

China did buy a batch of beans this morning though, after they drove the price down ... lol

BP, what gave it away that it was the '80's? Were you driving a gutless car at only 55 mph? Disco dancing? Hauling grain on a CWB 1.5 bus/acre quota, or chasing greedy bankers away? Shoulder pads in the ole coveralls?
