## Why it matters

Weather-related yield losses could tighten local soybean supply, while farmers’ delayed sales temporarily restrict market availability; both effects may support prices. Lower cotton yields and reduced arrivals may also firm cotton prices, but cotton is not a listed commodity symbol.
