Noteworthy News / Trends 🆕
🟢 Brazilian Soybean crop continues to suffer through drought and heat stress conditions. Some of the crop is even being replanted as Cotton. (check our Twitter for more info)
🟢 Precipitation in Brazil is well below normal from a low of 13% of normal to a high of 70%, with most around the 30-40% range as far as November precipitation is concerned.
🟢 Funds have been adding to their net long position for five weeks in a row.
🟢 US Crush margins continue to show strength
🟢 The US had the largest weekly sales of Soybeans in +10 years
🟢/🔴 Logistics at the ports of Brazil are mounting (congestion). For US Logistics the constraint appears to be the Panama Canal which has announced a reduction of the number of ships that will be able to transit through the canal daily from 24 currently to 18 in February 2024.
🟢/🔴 It’s too early to tell what happens with the Argentine elections, but one could assume that Milei winning would be bearish Soybeans as he vows to dollarize the economy. This would pave the way for Argentine farmers to sell their grain for Dollars instead of the hyperinflated Argentine Peso. (Basically the market will not encourage hoarding of grain off the market anymore)
🟢/🔴 5 Day forecast is calling for rains in Brazil in key areas that need the rain the most. Will they hit? That’s TBD.
Fund Net Position💰
Chicago Soybeans: +87,913 Contracts (Position as of 11/14)
Funds have been adding to their net position 5 weeks in a row
Commentary & Technicals💹
All attention in the grain and oilseed markets continues to be pointing to two things in South America.
1. The ongoing heat and lack of rain in Brazil affecting Soybean production 🔥
2.The presidential race in Argentina which could structurally shift everything in the Argentine economy IF Javier Milei wins 💵
These all come at a time when the US farmer will largely remain absent completing harvest as well as taking much needed time off during Thanksgiving.
We believe then based on the above that we may experience heightened volatility and lessening liquidity as we start pricing in which portion of the matrix becomes the most probabilistic outcome (Rain/Drought, Javier Wins/Loses).
Watch the following levels 👇
🟢 Upside Targets: 13.62, 13.87, 13.98
🔴 Downside Targets: 13.36, 13.14, 13.00
