Speaker is "long grains" (corn, wheat, soybeans) and expects "a 25 to 30% rally across the board." High input costs (fuel, fertilizer) have farmers planting at a loss, threatening supply. Inflation and money rotating out of equities could flow into grain markets. LONG due to favorable risk/reward with significant upside potential from inflation and supply concerns. Absence of adverse weather or supply shock leads to continued oversupply.

Any delay in Chinese purchases of US agricultural products represents a significant headwind for soybean prices.

"China has committed to purchasing at least 25 million metric tons of US soybeans annually through 2028... At the same time, the EPA has proposed increasing biomass-based diesel mandates by as much as 67% for 2026, and soybean oil is the leading domestic feed stock." Soybeans are benefiting from a dual-demand shock: guaranteed international trade flows (China) and domestic regulatory tailwinds (EPA renewable diesel mandates). This structural demand will outpace supply, driving up the underlying commodity price. LONG. The Teucrium Soybean Fund provides direct exposure to a commodity with legally and geopolitically mandated demand growth. Changes in EPA regulations, breakdown of the US-China bilateral trade framework, or adverse weather patterns affecting crop yields.

Commodities are getting more and more attention as we enter 2026. Tukrium's agricultural ETFs offer way to access the futures prices of essential crops. As inflation risks persist and traditional stock and bond portfolios face macro volatility, agricultural commodities provide non-correlated diversification and a direct hedge against rising consumer prices. LONG. Agricultural commodities act as a portfolio diversifier and inflation hedge in a volatile macro environment. Favorable global weather conditions leading to bumper crops could significantly suppress agricultural commodity prices regardless of broader inflation.

"2026 should see a natural increase in soybean acres... soybean values have increased... 3.8%... soybean oil values rallying 24.9% so far for the year." The market is witnessing a convergence of two bullish factors: a cyclical rotation of acreage back to soybeans and a structural demand shock from renewable fuel mandates (RBOs). The price action confirms that the market is pricing in this demand. Long exposure to soybean futures via ETF captures the direct price appreciation from this demand/supply dynamic. Regulatory disappointment if the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reduces the expected renewable volume mandates.

"China bought their 12 million metric tons... rumored Trump has said that they will buy another 8 million... If they were to do that again, the US soybean balance sheet would tighten up." Economically, China *should* buy from Brazil (cheaper). If they buy from the US, it is purely a political decision to appease the US administration. A confirmed purchase of 8M tons would distort the supply/demand balance and spike US prices. Watch for confirmation of Chinese purchases before entering; currently neutral as global supply is adequate. China ignores political pressure and buys exclusively from Brazil, leaving US farmers with a surplus.

"Soybean shipments from the United States to China last year were down 90% and down 80% from our port alone." Seroka notes that buyers have moved to Brazil and Argentina with contracts locked for "three, six and 12 months." Agriculture is a transactional business heavily reliant on export volume. The loss of the primary buyer (China) to South American competitors—who now hold the active contracts—leaves US soy producers with a massive demand void that cannot be filled domestically. Bearish US agricultural commodities, specifically soybeans, due to structural loss of market share. A sudden trade deal or "phase one" style agreement mandating Chinese purchases could reverse this, though Seroka views this as unlikely in the immediate term.

Reports indicate China is considering buying 8 million metric tons of US soybeans. The presenter notes, "doing so would nearly exhaust all remaining export supplies." While Brazilian beans are cheaper, a politically motivated purchase of this magnitude would effectively clear US inventory. This would force other international buyers to scramble for alternatives or pay a premium for scarce US supply, creating a localized price squeeze for US-origin soybeans despite the global surplus from Brazil. Watch for official confirmation of the sale. The market is currently skeptical; therefore, a confirmed deal would be a significant bullish catalyst for US soybean prices. The purchase remains unconfirmed and may be mere political posturing; Brazil's record harvest (180M tons) provides a massive deflationary force on global prices.
