South America has largely returned to near-normal weather, with favorable soil moisture in Argentina and good conditions in southern Brazil. Dryness persists in pockets of western Argentina such as Córdoba and La Pampa, where some early plantings had poor emergence.
Favorable moisture supports a large South American crop outlook, which is bearish for wheat, barley, soybean and corn prices, though localized dryness in western Argentina limits the downside.
