Jacob Burks, WedBush Futures grain analyst, says China has the market rallying.
"A new sale to China has the soybean market excited this morning.  Expectations for the USDA report next Tuesday seems to be very wide.  The market has proven to me that you can’t get too excited about these daily moves, because it can be given back pretty quick.  I expect to see continued choppiness until Tuesday to get more direction from the USDA numbers."

NOTE:

Private exporters reported to the U.S. Department of Agriculture export sales of 132,000 metric tons of soybeans for delivery to China during the 2015/2016 marketing year. 

The marketing year for soybeans began Sept. 1.

For those of you that were always saying the traders are wrong

Well this might be be your chance, to profit when they are wrong

I said a few days ago, to get in the corn

Now we are seeing evidence that the corn crop is not what many expected, and some still don't know

Seems like dry weather may reduce bean yields, and you should know this before the market does

You might want to consider an option or an out right long position

Of course, if some rain comes then that won't make the market go up

If no rain, one would expect to see beans up sunday nite and monday

As of now the rain [or lack of] will most likely trump any negative in the bean market

This is not to be considered as trading advice for anybody, just my best guess
