U.S. soybean futures fell nearly 6% in October, their worst month of 2026. Ahead of USDA’s November 9 crop and supply-demand reports, analysts expect the already-record yield estimate may rise, while strong domestic crushing demand and a China-led export rebound provide support.
Potentially larger U.S. production would add supply and weigh on soybean prices, while strong crush and export demand could offset some of that pressure. The report may sharpen the balance between bearish crop prospects and supportive demand.
