Brazil's crop agency Conab raised its 2024/25 total grain supply forecast to 325.71 million tons from 322.25 million, driven by a larger corn crop now projected at 122.01 million tons. It slightly cut its soybean forecast to 166.01 million tons due to irreversible drought losses in Rio Grande do Sul.
A bigger Brazilian corn crop adds export supply that competes with US corn, which is bearish for corn prices, while the soybean cut is mildly supportive for soybean meal.
