China imports record 12.14m tons of soybeans in August

Wheat futures were flat, after hitting a one-week high in the previous session amid signs of easing supply pressure from the Black Sea export region.

  • The weather in Brazil, the world’s largest soybeans producer, will not likely normalize until October for soy planting, the local head of commodities trader Cargill said on Wednesday, signalling the likelihood of more dry conditions this month.

  • Brazil asked the European Union not to implement regulations in its deforestation law at the end of the year as scheduled and asked for it to be revised to avoid hurting Brazilian exports.

  • Energy production and agricultural exports out of the US Gulf of Mexico were partially disrupted ahead of Hurricane Francine’s landfall later in the day, tying up shipments of fuel, soybean and grains, according to official and operator reports.

  • Ahead of USDA reports later in the day, analysts surveyed by Reuters expect the government to leave its US 2024 soybean yield forecast unchanged and slightly trim its corn yield estimate.

  • Consultancy IKAR lowered its forecast for Russia’s wheat crop to 82.2 million metric tons from 83.8 million tons, citing adverse weather.
