Global buyers are shifting grain purchases to Brazil as Argentine and Paraguayan river shipments are hampered by low Parana River water levels. AgriBrasil sold three Brazilian corn cargoes that buyers originally sought in Argentina, and a COFCO soymeal ship ran aground at Rosario.
Stranded Argentine river logistics raise demand for Brazilian corn and soymeal, supporting Brazilian export prices while Argentine FOB values weaken and barge and freight costs stay elevated.
After 285 past bullish logistics events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.5% to +1.5%), and +0.8% over 20.
After 167 past bullish logistics events, Soybean Meal moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.8% to +2.9%), and -1.2% over 20.
