Brazil’s weather service issued a storm alert for southern Bahia and several other areas, warning of heavy rain, strong winds and possible hail. The alert does not cover western Bahia, the state’s main soybean and corn-producing area; recent excessive rainfall elsewhere in southern Brazil has damaged infrastructure and delayed soybean planting.
Storm damage and planting delays can threaten crop output in affected areas, while western Bahia’s main production zone is outside the stated alert area. Any price effect is limited unless damaging weather reaches major producing regions.
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.
After 1,465 past bullish weather events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
