Reading Time: 2minutes U.S. soybean futures retreated on Monday from a one-week top on a lack of fresh soy sales to top buyer China and lingering doubts over whether the Asian nation will buy 12 million tonnes of the oilseed by the end of 2025
Reading Time: 2minutes U.S. grain and oilseed futures showed losses earlier in the week ended Nov. 26, 2025, but later rallied to pare or eliminate their losses.
