World Weather Inc. expects dry conditions to return to Brazil and persist until at least the second week of January. Soybean production will be somewhat lower, though not dramatically.
Late soybean planting may also keep second-crop corn from being planted on time.
Expected soybean and corn output shortfalls in Brazil would reduce South American export supplies. The risk supports prices, though the forecast is uncertain.
After 1,079 past bullish weather events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.0%), and +0.9% over 20.
