Conab reported that Brazil had planted 54.3% of its 2026/27 soybean area by 1 November. Planting is ahead in the Center-West, while dry conditions and irregular rain slow it in parts of Matopiba and the South.
Planting past the halfway mark with a strong Center-West lowers the risk of a short Brazilian crop, which is mildly bearish for soybeans and meal. Irregular rain in Matopiba is the main thing to watch.
After 788 past bearish report events, Soybeans moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -2.0% to +1.5%), and -0.9% over 20.
After 399 past bearish report events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -2.4% to +1.2%), and -1.0% over 20.
