November canola futures retreated almost $37 per metric ton (MT) up to July 16, while soybean oil fell the same percentage amount (5.6). Canola prices will likely continue to follow the soybean market well into harvest.

The good news is that China has finally made a purchase of 2024 U.S. soybeans, but that news is tempered by the fact that it's their first and only purchase thus far. In a more typical year, the U.S. has counted on China to make several purchases by this time. Other than that, there’s been little in the way of good news for soybeans.

SINGAPORE/BEIJING, July 19 (Reuters) - China is facing an oversupply of soybeans as record high purchases boost stockpiles at a time when animal feed demand remains subdued, with prices of products such as soyoil and soymeal set to sink even lower.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”
