Five consecutive dry days in Cascavel, Paraná, brought just 4.1 millimeters of rain during the week ending November 3, raising concerns about moisture for recently germinated soybeans. Paraná had planted 71% of its projected 5.7 million hectares by November 5, while Chicago soybean futures rose as traders priced in the localized dryness.
Dryness in an important soybean-growing area could threaten early crop development and tighten prospective Brazilian supply, supporting soybean prices if it persists.
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.
