CHICAGO—Chinese importers bought about 10 boatloads of U.S. soybeans on Sept. 23, following deputy-level trade talks in Washington last week that were overshadowed by the abrupt cancellation of a U.S. farm state visit by Chinese agriculture officials.
The deals for about 661,400 tons (600,000 metric tonnes) slated for shipment from Pacific Northwest export terminals from October to December, were similar in size to a wave of buying earlier this month, two traders with direct knowledge of the deals said.
