Signal Ocean's weekly dry bulk report shows Brazilian soybean exports to China running above last year, with Capesize rates firmer and Panamax, Supramax and Handysize weaker. The report notes uncertainty over extending the Black Sea Grain Initiative ahead of the May 18 Russian deadline.
Rising Brazil-to-China soybean flows support Panamax demand and freight, while Black Sea uncertainty adds risk to grain shipping costs and wheat and corn availability.
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.
