Soybean harvesting in Brazil is in full swing, causing an increase in the spot market's liquidity. However, some consumers are delaying large purchases, hoping for lower prices in the upcoming month due to anticipated lower production in Argentina and Paraguay. These South American countries are experiencing lower than expected production rates, contributing to a revision in the USDA's global soybean production forecast for the 2024/25 harvest, which has been reduced by 0.8% to 420.76 million tons, largely due to water deficit impacts in Argentina and Paraguay.
