Brazilian farmers had planted 64% of the projected 2026/27 soybean area by the previous Thursday, up from 53% a week earlier and 61% at the same point last year, AgRural reported. Planting has progressed without major problems, but uneven Cerrado rainfall, dryness in Mato Grosso, possible replanting in parts of Matopiba, and excessive rain in southern Brazil remain concerns; first-crop corn planting in the center-south reached 71%.
Faster planting supports the prospect of a timely Brazilian soybean crop, while dry conditions and potential replanting could threaten yields or delay fieldwork in some areas. The overall supply signal is mildly supportive of soybeans, with localized weather risk limiting the bearish implication of planting progress.
After 445 past neutral weather events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
