A Brazilian soybean exporter is targeting the Chinese export market and offers a buyer in China to price the soybeans based on the domestic Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) Soybean No.2 (B) contract, which generally targets imported soybeans. While this can make the offer more attractive to the Chinese buyer, it also means the exporter is now exposed to the risk that the price of the Soybean No.2 (B) contract in Dalian may have fallen by the time of delivery.
