News Brief
Summary
China has suspended some retaliatory tariffs on US agricultural imports but will maintain tariffs on key goods like soybeans. This follows the Xi-Trump meeting, easing fears of a full-blown trade war. However, US soybeans remain uncompetitive due to tariffs, with China favoring cheaper Brazilian supplies.
Key Points
- China lifted tariffs on select US farm goods but kept a 13% tariff on soybeans.
- The 24% additional tariffs imposed in April are suspended for one year.
- US soybeans are still more expensive than Brazilian alternatives, limiting Chinese demand.
- The White House announced China would buy large volumes of US soybeans, but Beijing has not confirmed.
- China recently purchased 20 cargoes of cheaper Brazilian soybeans.
