Argentina's largest unions staged a 24-hour strike on Thursday that halted trains, planes and ports in protest against austerity measures from President Milei's government. In Rosario, port operations were stopped, and Argentina is the world's top exporter of soymeal and soyoil.
Argentina's large share of global soymeal and soyoil exports means a port shutdown tightens near-term supply for those products, supporting prices until shipments resume.
