# GRAINS-Chicago soybeans slip as rising global supplies weigh

BEIJING, Feb 6(Reuters) -

Chicago Board of Trade soybeans fell on Friday amid ample global supplies, pulling back from a two-month high sparked by President Donald Trump’s remarks that China would buy more U.S. soybeans.

Corn and wheat also declined.

### FUNDAMENTALS

-   The most-active soybean contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) (Sv1) was down 0.5% at $11.06-3⁄4 a bushel, as of 0210 GMT. The oilseed rose 4% for the week.
-   CBOT wheat (Wv1) was down 0.2% at $5.34 a bushel, falling 0.7% for the week. Corn (Cv1) lost 0.1% to $4.34-1⁄2 a bushel, but climbed 1.5% this week.
-   Soybeans hit a two-month high on Wednesday after Trump posted that China was “lifting the soybean count to 20 million tons” for the current season—implying China could buy an additional 8 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans in 2025⁄26 on top of about 12 million tons already booked since the late-October trade truce.
-   However, ample global supply capped soybean price gains.
-   Brazil, world’s largest soybean producer and exporter, is expected to produce 181.6 million metric tons in 2025⁄26, consultancy firm StoneX said on Monday, raising its outlook by 2.3% from a January projection.
-   China, the largest purchaser of U.S. soybeans, is expected to lean heavily on Brazilian soybeans in the first half of 2026.
-   Chinese soybean importers face much higher costs to bring in the additional U.S. cargoes, while rival Brazilian supplies are far cheaper in their peak export season.
-   However, additional purchases of U.S. soybeans may represent a political gesture by Beijing, despite higher costs, ahead of a planned visit by Trump to China in April, according to analysts.
-   Commodity funds were net buyers of CBOT corn, soybean, wheat futures on Thursday, traders said.

### MARKETS

-   Asian stocks extended losses into a second day in early trading on Friday as a selloff on Wall Street intensified, with precious metals and cryptocurrencies gripped by wrenching volatility.
