CBOT soybean futures hit a three-month high due to rising expectations for U.S. sales to China, despite initial fears over tariffs. Traders noted Beijing's measured response and rumors of potential Chinese interest in U.S. shipments. Analysts predict USDA will report U.S. soybean export sales between 400,000 to 1 million metric tons. March soybeans closed at $11.48-1⁄4 per bushel, while soyoil and soymeal also saw significant gains, with soyoil reaching a contract high.
