$17 billion in annual U.S. agricultural purchases through 2028 is back in focus as Washington and Beijing appear ready to ease trade tensions and move toward rolling back tariffs.
Don Roose of U.S. Commodities said the shift is encouraging for farm markets, pointing to both governments' apparent willingness to follow through on China's May buying commitment.
China demand and weather are driving market sentiment, with the prospect of lower trade barriers adding support for U.S. agricultural exports if the rollback proceeds.
