An atmospheric scientist said excessive rainfall in southern Brazil and the possibility of extended dry spells in the Center-West pose risks to soybean production. High borrowing costs could also constrain acreage expansion, limiting farmers’ ability to offset weather-related losses.
Weather risks and less area growth could tighten Brazilian soybean supply if yields or planted area fall short, supporting soybean prices. The effects remain uncertain while planting is underway.
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.
