CME soybean crush margins have averaged $0.86 per bushel so far in 2024, far below 2023's $1.77 average and 2022's record $2.05. Nearby soybean oil is near its lowest since February 2021, and soybean meal is at its lowest since November 2021 as Argentina's crop nearly doubles.
Weak product values and expanding Argentine meal supply cap soybean meal export prices and reduce crush demand for soybeans.
