Argentina's soybean planting is running behind last year because of weather, and Argentina and Brazil together supply more than half the world's soymeal and soyoil. Brazil is preparing to raise its biodiesel blending mandate.

Weather-related planting delays and a possible Brazilian biodiesel mandate increase could squeeze global meal and oil supplies. That would support soymeal and soyoil prices.
