Physical soybean prices edged higher in some origins as markets weighed a strong El Niño expected to peak between November and January. Participants are monitoring South American weather, energy and fertilizer costs, and possible logistics disruptions, although the outlook does not yet indicate an immediate global supply deficit.
Weather risks in South America could threaten crop prospects and support soybean prices, while higher input costs and potential logistics disruptions could add volatility before any clear supply shortfall emerges.
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.
