Rain, excess soil moisture, and cooler temperatures slowed soybean planting in Santa Catarina, where 20.2% of the planned 2026/27 area had been sown by October 24, versus 22.1% at the same point in the previous cycle. Wet fields restricted machinery access, and some areas reported poor emergence and replanting; delayed wheat harvest also held up soybean planting in parts of the state.
A slower start and uneven crop establishment could put pressure on soybean yield prospects if adverse conditions persist, supporting soybean prices. The knock-on delay to fieldwork may also affect subsequent crop planning.
After 1,079 past bullish weather events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.0%), and +0.9% over 20.
