Analysts expect El Nino to bring above-average rain to southern Brazil and Argentina while drying the north. Brazil could reach a record soybean crop near 160 million tons in 2023/24, and Argentina's output could nearly double.
A record Brazil crop and an Argentine rebound would raise global soybean and meal export supply, which is bearish for soy complex prices.
