Trade War and Commodities - Technical Behavior Explained

119
First let's take a look what happened between China and United States.

FUNDAMENTAL VISION
-At the beginning of 2018, United States started a trade war with China, imposing tariffs on different products.

-In response to this measure, the Chinese government imposed tariffs on US products including some raw materials, the main product exported by the United States to China.

-In relation to this, there was an excessive decrease in exports, reaching the minimum quantity exported in the last 8 years.

-By decreasing the demand for products, this led to a decline in prices. In the case of soybean, we saw a few days ago how the price reached the minimum since 2008.
