Soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade dropped about 3 percent as traders priced in Brazil’s coming supplies and weaker U.S. demand. A Brazilian shipment of 53,000 tons could reach the Gulf or be diverted to Asia or Europe within two weeks. Prices, up 27 percent since November, reflect strong world demand and low U.S. stocks. Analysts warn the crunch remains, while Taiwan trims imports by about 15 million tons and hooves disease fears prompt U.S. export caution. Livestock futures mostly down with hogs, cattle and pork bellies retreating on tariff and demand expectations.
