Argentina's peso hit a record low in parallel markets on April 20, weakening about 4% to 438 per dollar, roughly double the official rate of 218. The slide reflects 104% inflation, dwindling central bank reserves and drought-hit exports under tight capital controls.
Drought losses reduce Argentine export dollar income and the peso slide encourages farmers to hold back grain, tightening soymeal and corn export availability and supporting prices.
After 44 past bullish macro events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.6% over 5 sessions (34% higher; middle half -1.9% to +0.9%), and -2.9% over 20.
After 151 past bullish macro events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -0.9% to +1.4%), and -0.3% over 20.
