Heavy rain raised Mississippi River levels, letting exporters ship soybeans from Gulf terminals at the fastest pace in nearly four years. Barge loads and tow sizes increased as the river deepened.
Faster Gulf loading supports near-term U.S. soybean export demand while merchants move inventory ahead of Brazil's harvest, and lower barge constraints reduce freight costs.
After 206 past bullish logistics events, Soybeans moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.3% to +2.6%), and +1.4% over 20.
