Current soybeans futures price at $13.02 reflects ongoing supply constraints in Brazil, where export pace has slowed. Market strategists see potential bullish pressure if U.S. acreage data confirms lower planting intentions compared to last year. A few spots in southeast NE, IA, and the Dakotas will see 1 to 2 inches of rain in the next week putting a pause to harvest in parts of the country. Lighter totals of less than ½ inch are seen across the rest of the growing regions. For the most part, harvest should be able to continue with a few exceptions. Due to the government shutdown, Monday’s Crop Progress report will likely be delayed. Issued 4 times per year by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), the Grain Stocks Reports offer updates on stocks of soybeans and other major grain & oilseed crops by state and by position (on- or off-farm storage). Soybeans futures price is holding at $13.03, with spread traders noting stronger nearby contracts compared to November delivery. This reflects expectations of immediate tightening rather than long-term scarcity.
