With planting season in full swing and steady demand for soybeans both domestically and internationally, Brazil’s market is expected to maintain solid price levels in the coming weeks. However, as farmers remain focused on planting, export activity may continue to lag until production increases later in the season. The impact of global market trends, including demand from China and movements in oil prices, will also play a significant role in shaping price dynamics moving forward.Click here to reach our trading platfrom CMBroker
