[Argentine Soybean Weather: Scattered Showers Expected in Core Growing Areas This Week, Southern Regions to Be Dry] ⑴ Córdoba, Santa Fe, and Northern Buenos Aires: Scattered showers and below-normal temperatures have occurred in the past few days. Forecasts indicate continued scattered showers until Tuesday, with temperatures remaining below normal until Saturday, returning to near-normal from Sunday to Monday, and near to slightly above normal on Tuesday. ⑵ La Pampa and Southern Buenos Aires: Generally dry with below-normal temperatures in the past few days. Forecasts indicate mostly dry Friday, scattered showers on Saturday and Sunday, dry Monday, and scattered showers on Tuesday. Temperatures will remain below normal until Saturday, near to slightly below normal on Sunday, and near to slightly above normal from Monday to Tuesday. ⑶ Global Soybean Outlook: Scattered showers in central Brazil are generally favorable for soybeans in the late grain-filling stage; harvesting should be avoided during rainfall. Soil moisture conditions in northern Argentina are favorable for soybeans, but recent dryness has lowered moisture levels. Dry conditions in central and southern Argentina are unfavorable for growth, although several rounds of rainfall are expected this week. (4) From a crop growth perspective, the sporadic showers this week in Argentina's core producing areas helped alleviate the earlier drought pressure, but the dryness in the southern regions has persisted for a longer period, and more rainfall is needed for soil moisture recovery. While rainfall in central Brazil is beneficial for grain filling, it increases harvesting difficulty. (5) The market should pay attention to the coverage and intensity of rainfall in Argentina over the next two weeks, as well as the impact of Brazil's harvest progress on the international soybean supply schedule.
