Soybeans experienced a decline due to fund and technical selling, despite favorable conditions in Brazil. Conversely, Argentina's crop remains in poor shape, potentially leading to reduced production and exacerbating a tight global vegetable oils market. Corn prices were also lower due to overselling and slow export demand. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine raises questions about spring planting, while Brazil's planting of its second crop is 82% complete, with production expected to exceed last year's. Wheat prices saw a slight increase due to short covering and technical buying. The Black Sea Grain Initiative is being negotiated for an extension, with Russia and Ukraine continuing to dominate the export market despite ongoing conflicts and weather conditions impacting planting and production in various countries.
