Conab data show Brazilian farmers had planted 66.8% of the intended soybean area in 12 monitored states by November 6, ahead of 59% a year earlier and 62.7% on the five-year average. Mato Grosso is 95.6% planted and Matopiba states remain below 25%.
Esalq/USP forecasts 100 to 175 mm of rain from November 12 to 27 across Mato Grosso, Goiás, Tocantins and western Bahia.
Fast planting and heavy rain in the main Center-West region reduce the risk of delayed planting, which tends to weigh on soybean price risk premiums. Brazil's soybean supply outlook remains comfortable, so the price effect is mildly bearish to neutral.
After 324 past neutral weather events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.7%), and +0.7% over 20.
