CHICAGO—Chinese importers returned to the U.S. soy market on Dec. 18 for their second round of purchases since the two countries agreed to a truce in their trade war, four traders with knowledge of the deals and the U.S. Soybean Export Council said.
Private exporters sold about 1.3 million tons of U.S. soybeans for shipment to China, the U.S. Agriculture Department said Dec. 19.
