The USDA report cut U.S. soybean yield to 51.2 bushels per acre against trade expectations of 52 and lowered output, while exports were reduced. Argentine soybean output was cut 1.5 million tonnes to 49.5 million, and Brazil was unchanged at 144 million.
Oilseed values rallied, and UK rapeseed approached £600/t.
Lower Argentine and U.S. output tightens global oilseed and meal supplies, supporting protein feed prices. A stronger dollar and inflation-driven crude weakness limited gains.
