  • USDA Boosts Argentina Soybean Production, Weighing on Soybean Prices
    June 12, 2026, 8:43 AM EDT. Soybeans fell modestly on Thursday, with cash prices down 7 3/4 cents to $10.61 1/2 amid an increase in Argentina's production forecast by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA raised Argentina's soybean output by 2 million metric tons (MMT) to 50 MMT, contributing to a global supply surplus and higher world ending stocks for 2025/26. U.S. export sales for soybeans declined 23.7% week-on-week but remained above last year's levels. Soymeal futures showed mixed results, while soy oil futures dropped. Brazil's production was steady at 180 MMT. The USDA's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report signaled stable U.S. old and new crop stocks, with a slight internal adjustment. Market participants are adjusting to the increased international supplies amid ongoing trade demand.
