SAFRAS & Mercado reports Brazilian growers had planted 85.6% of expected soybean area by November 22, ahead of the prior week and the five-year average of 79.3%. Rio Grande do Sul and Mato Grosso showed varied progress, with some excess moisture in the Midwest.
Fast planting progress reduces weather-related risk premium and supports expectations of a large Brazilian crop, which is bearish for soybean prices.
After 363 past bearish weather events, Soybeans moved a median -0.6% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -2.5% to +1.1%), and -0.2% over 20.
