Tidbits, China Stimulus, Mississippi & Ports, Beans Market 9/28/24

Tidbits


Yesterday, China announced more stimulus measures to try to reach a 2024 economic growth target of 5%. China added ~$284 billion equivalent in bonds and cut bank reserve requirement ratios by 50 basis points. The three-month interest rate was down to 1.5%, and their one-year interest rate is now at 2%. By comparison, the one-year interest rate here in the U.S. for government one year T-Bills is at 3.96%.

 

Yesterday morning, the USDA announced the sale of 20,000 mts of soybean oil to South Korea.
