Argentina's grains trade is largely paralyzed by a shortage of soybeans caused by drought, with farmers holding back produce in anticipation of a peso devaluation. Crushing plants and grain ports are operating far below capacity.
Withheld supply and a shortage of beans leave less soybean and meal available for export, which supports global soy and soymeal prices.
After 696 past bullish trade events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.9%), and +0.7% over 20.
