SAFRAS & Mercado says Argentina's new government devalued the peso and changed exchange rate policy, making Argentine soymeal and soyoil cheaper on world markets. The analysts expect Argentine growers to sell stored beans, and the Chicago Board of Trade has already declined in response.
A cheaper Argentine peso boosts Argentina's export competitiveness, pressuring soymeal and soyoil prices in Chicago and regional Brazilian premiums, and export tax cuts could add further downside.
