# Grains in free fall: rapeseed was the biggest loser and soybeans added another week of sharp declines

> Brent crude fell 14% during the week, from $113 to $97 a barrel, weighing on oilseeds. Rapeseed prices dropped 5.2% on the Paris Matif market, while local Uruguayan prices fell to their lowest level in nearly five months; soybeans recorded a fourth consecutive weekly decline. Traders also expected the USDA to raise its forecast for U.S. soybean production in its next monthly report.

## Why it matters

Lower crude prices can reduce support for oilseed demand and prices, while expectations of a larger U.S. soybean crop add supply pressure. These factors are bearish for soybeans and related oilseed markets.
