MIDF Research reports that USDA Prospective Plantings shows US soybean area for 2018 falling 1% to 89.0 million acres, below the lowest estimate in a Bloomberg survey. The analysts also note US soybean stocks of 2.11 billion bushels on March 1, up 21% year on year, and expect Indonesian replanting to limit palm supply growth.
Lower US soybean acreage tightens the soyoil outlook, which supports palm oil demand as a substitute. The large March stocks partly offset that support on the soy side.
