Soybean planting in Rio Grande do Sul reached 23% of the 6.64 million hectares projected for the crop, according to Emater/RS-Ascar. Dry days, lower surface soil moisture and warmer temperatures allowed planting to resume, including in areas previously used for winter crops.
Steady planting progress in southern Brazil supports the outlook for the 2026/27 soybean crop, though falling topsoil moisture could limit water availability in some fields. Brazilian soybean supply is a key input for soymeal pricing.
After 328 past neutral weather events, Soybeans moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.8%), and +0.7% over 20.
