Weather, market sentiment, growing regions, who dominated the agricultural products market in the second quarter?

Weekly overview of this week's price changes Over the past week, CBOT agricultural product prices have basically fluctuated in the range, but soybean oil prices have declined. The USDA report for April is in line with market expectations, with minimal volatility, as people now pay more attention to planting progress and weather effects. We are entering the so-called weather market, and long-term pricing for commodities will largely depend on weather forecasts and actual conditions in key growing regions. The importance of this stage has been amplified by the current tight balance between supply and demand for various crops, limiting the margin of error when weather adversely affects yield. This situation has exacerbated the price pair

Planting forecasts fall short of expectations; corn futures prices soared

Weekly overview of this week's price changes In the past week, the CBOT agricultural products trading range has expanded, but there is still little change in price from week to week. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) planting report, which is widely anticipated by the market, shows that wheat and soybean cultivation forecasts are in line with expectations, but insufficient corn cultivation supports corn prices. The USDA forecast for corn cultivation in 2024 fell short of expectations, causing corn futures prices to soar 3% in December, the biggest one-day increase since July and the highest price since the end of January. However, despite the possibility of a reduction in production, the existing room for production reduction within the corn supply-demand balance sheet has been reduced

Weekly overview of this week's price changes Over the past week, cereal and oilseed prices have rebounded slightly after a period of decline. This recovery is taking place despite uncertainty about the area under US crop cultivation. The US corn market is facing large inventories, which reduces the possibility of price increases in the face of secondary crop problems. By contrast, the soybean and wheat markets are more sensitive to the performance of northern hemisphere crops, and given tight balance sheets, there is little room for error.

Grain prices are still sluggish, and the performance of oilseed trends is divided

Weekly overview of this week's price changes In the past week, cereal prices have experienced a slump, while oilseed complexes have shown mixed results; in contrast to the fall in soybean and soybean meal prices, boosted by widespread support from the vegetable oil market, soybean oil prices have risen. The USDA report did not show a significant deviation from market expectations. Soybean inventory estimates were slightly higher than predicted, but failed to significantly affect prices. This indicates that higher inventory levels are within expectations. The Traders' Commitment (COT) report highlights that regulated funds continue to maintain a net seller trend and maintain net shorts in almost all commodities covered by this analysis

The sharp drop in oil prices affected the agricultural products market, and US corn and soybean futures fell to multi-year lows

The Zhitong Finance App learned that on Monday local time, US corn futures fell to a low of more than three years and soybean futures fell to a two-year low due to a sharp drop in crude oil prices and the agricultural products market. The energy market can influence grain futures because corn is used to make ethanol and soybean oil is used to make biofuel. Analysts say technical sell-offs and favorable rainfall in Brazilian crop-growing regions have also helped lower food prices. The March contract for corn on the Chicago Futures Exchange closed down 1.4% to 4.55 US dollars/bushels, the lowest price since December 2020, while the March soybean contract closed down 0.8% to 1
