It appears China has stopped buying soybeans from the US altogether because of trade fight

That one shipment so far was roughly 63,000 metric tons, which is roughly 27 Mio USD worth before tariffs
Small potatoes, but conveniently picked up rapidly by the press
A nice political signal for a start.
And also practical, because it avoids price negotions in a big hurry that would include clauses that would deal with a sudden (significant) tariff change.

The real test will be the US Soy Harvest season in September as of now non of the next round of $50 Bil in tariffs have come into effect. Most of the current US soy been sold else anyway.

The EU steel and Aluminum Tarriffs have been postponed for another month which dosnt really help as everything is pretty much on hold
US steel is producing a total of +1.1% more steel and aluminum currently
