For the first time since the 1990s, China hasn't bought any U.S. Soybeans at the start of the export season.
Instead, China has bought a large shipment from Brazil, in what is being seen as a taunt to U.S. President Donald Trump.
That is also a sign Beijing is seeking an edge by shunning U.S. Soy and using agriculture as leverage in its trade fight with Washington.
