> The protein market is stabilizing but remains nervous over geopolitics, weather, and tariff uncertainty. Previously announced US tariffs have been postponed by 90 days except for China, which is now focused on buying Brazilian soybeans. Argentina's soybean harvest has started with improved crop condition, and Western European soybean meal supply is at a reasonable level.
