Argentina's Buenos Aires grains exchange cut its 2022/23 wheat crop forecast to 12.4 million tonnes from 14 million, after frost and drought damage. The Rosario exchange had already cut its outlook, and the government let exporters defer some wheat shipments.
Forecast rains for key farming regions offered hope for soybean planting.
A much smaller Argentine wheat crop tightens global wheat supply alongside weather problems in the US and Russia, supporting wheat prices. Expected rain reduces the risk to soybean output, which weighs on soy prices.
