# Dollar breaks R$5.50, weather in southern Brazil raises concerns, and Brent plunges to $94

> Soybean and corn futures in Chicago were little changed as traders awaited updated USDA planting and harvest figures, with a record U.S. harvest expected. In Brazil, emerging weather problems in the South raised an early concern for the 2026/27 crop; Brent fell to about $94.75 amid easing Iran-related tensions and developments following the U.S. election.

## Why it matters

Adverse weather in southern Brazil could threaten crop prospects and lend support to soybean and corn prices if it persists, though the report describes an early warning rather than confirmed losses. A weaker real can also support Brazilian-origin grain offers in dollar terms.
