Soybeans - Summary

Soybean futures rose toward $12.6 per bushel, rebounding from a two-month low reached on October 21, as strong export demand led by China helped end an eight-session losing streak. The USDA reported 2.84 million metric tons of net US soybean export sales for the 2026/27 marketing year in the week ended October 15, sharply above 574,900 tons a week earlier. China accounted for 2.18 million tons, while export shipments climbed 75% week over week to 2.02 million tons, up 88% from the four-week average. A separate USDA announcement also confirmed a sale of 202,000 tons to China. Still, futures remained on track for a second consecutive weekly loss as the advancing US harvest and expectations for a large crop continued to weigh on prices. The USDA projects US soybean production at 4.56 billion bushels for the 2026/27 marketing year. However, analysts suggested harvest-related pressure was easing as fieldwork neared completion.

Soybeans
Soybeans are one of the most important agricultural commodities globally, widely used for food products, animal feed, and biofuels. As a result, soybean prices are closely followed due to their impact on food supply chains, livestock production, and global trade flows. Soybean futures are traded on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) and serve as a global benchmark for pricing. The market is dominated by major producers and exporters, including the United States, Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay, which together account for the majority of global production and exports. On the demand side, China is by far the largest importer, followed by the European Union, Mexico, Japan, and Taiwan. Soybean prices displayed on Trading Economics are based on over-the-counter (OTC) and contract for difference (CFD) financial instruments and are intended to provide a general market reference only.

Soybeans Hit 2-Month Low
Soybean futures edged down below $12.5 per bushel, reaching their lowest level in eight weeks as investors trimmed bullish bets amid advancing US harvesting and favorable weather forecasts for the Midwest. Recent rains stalled fieldwork in parts of the Midwest, but drier weather forecasted through the end of the week is expected to allow farmers to gather what is projected to be a record-large soybean crop. US farmers now harvested 64% of the soybean crop, according to the USDA’s weekly crop progress report. The harvest pressure continued to outweigh renewed Chinese demand as the USDA confirmed more sales from China. The world's top soy importer has now purchased over 60% of its 25-million-ton US soybean buying target for the 2026/27 marketing year, under the trade deal reached between the two countries. Elsewhere, farmers in Brazil had planted 26% of the projected area of their 2026/27 soybean crop as of last week, up from 15% a week earlier and above the 24% registered a year ago.
