Soybeans fell to five-month lows in Chicago

The price of soybeans fell sharply again this Thursday, March 23 in the Chicago market, for bad US export data and the record crop income from Brazil to the commercial circuit, which caused the bean to fall more than US$10 and soybean oil $54.4 compared to Wednesday’s close.

He may contract of the oilseed fell 2% ($10.66) at $521.58 a ton, while the position in July fell 1.85% (US$9.74) to settle at US$513.86 a ton.

The basics of the low settled in the strong presence of Brazilian soybeans in the commercial circuitwhose export potential could reach record 90 million tons.

That volume is considered “sufficient to supply Chinawhich today only seems to have eyes for Brazilian grain, and even for diverting a record volume to Argentina, which will need a lot of grain so that the factories can at least partially compensate for the failure of their own harvest,” said a report of the broker Granar.

This situation generated the lack of interest on the part of China in North American merchandisewhich closed a week with a bad export performancewhich increased the casualties.

On the other hand, the price of corn fell 0.27% (US$0.69) and closed at US$248.71 per ton, as a result of an improvement in the water balance due to rains in the main producing region of the United States, waiting for a planting that is expected to exceed the previous one. and the devaluation of the real against the dollar, which provides “competitiveness to Brazilian exports” to the detriment of the United States.
