Asian Markets Move Higher

In addition to it, China will also be allowing the import of soybean meal from Argentina. The information was released by the Argentine president in a recent Tweet. As he explained, China is the largest consumer in the world of animal protein for cattle.

This is also going to affect American farmers that have been affected by the current trade war. These soybean producers were selling a large part of their production to China before the trade war started.

Other countries such as Argentina and Brazil could play an important role in providing China with the products they need for their population and cattle.

The market is now waiting for measures by the European Central Bank (ECB) to stimulate the eurozone economy. Additionally, Germany’s 30-year government bond moved into positive territory due to uncertainty in the market.
