# Eggs: Cheaper corn boosts purchasing power in October

> In October, São Paulo egg producers regained purchasing power against corn after three consecutive monthly declines, as corn prices fell more sharply than egg prices. Ample domestic availability, weaker international quotations, and a weaker dollar contributed to lower corn prices, while soybean meal becoming more expensive reduced producers’ purchasing power against that ingredient.

## Why it matters

Lower corn prices improve layer producers’ feed economics and can ease demand-side pressure on corn. Higher soybean meal prices continue to squeeze feed costs, partially offsetting the benefit.
