# Higher corn prices and falling soybean margins reshape nutrition costs

> Brazilian cash corn prices rose at the start of November after falling in October, as buyers replenished stocks and sellers held firm. Soybean futures fell 3.8% over the week for a fourth consecutive weekly decline, while weaker demand for soybean meal and oil reduced processors’ crushing margins; the dollar closed Friday at R$5.51.

## Why it matters

Rising corn prices increase feed formulation costs for poultry and hog producers, while weaker soybean-product demand weighs on meal prices and crush margins. The stronger dollar may support domestic grain prices, adding to procurement uncertainty.
