CHICAGO, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures set a four-month high on Monday on hopes that China will resume buying U.S. supplies as part of a potential trade with Washington, traders said.
U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. and China were set to "come away with" a trade deal, as he was expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday in South Korea.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told NBC on Sunday that China will make "substantial" purchases of U.S. soybeans under a proposed trade deal framework, after Chinese buyers shunned U.S. soybeans from the autumn harvest due to the trade war.
The U.S. soybean harvest was 84% complete as of Sunday, according to a Reuters poll of 10 analysts.
CBOT November soybeans SX25 ended 25-1/2 cents higher at $10.67-1/4 per bushel.
The most-active contract Sv1 reached its highest level since June 20.
CBOT December soymeal SMZ25 ended up $4.10 at $298.20 per short ton, while December soyoil BOZ25 rose 0.50 cent to 50.77 cents per pound.
