Soybean futures dropped 5–8 cents in front-month contracts on March 13, 2026, retreating from midday highs despite earlier gains of up to 13¼ cents, as March contracts neared expiration. Cash soybean prices rose 13¼ cents to $11.52¼ nationally, while soymeal futures climbed $1.90–$4.80 and soy oil gained 13–26 points, supported by crude oil’s $9.15 surge. USDA data showed 456,740 MT of old-crop soybeans sold (down 34% YoY), with Indonesia, Mexico, and Egypt as top buyers, while new-crop sales hit just 9,518 MT. January soybean exports reached 5.821 MMT, up YoY, with record soymeal exports at 1.678 MMT, though soybean oil saw net cancellations of 2,835 MT. Brazil’s 2026 soybean crop estimate was slightly cut to 177.85 MMT by CONAB, reflecting marginal adjustments amid stable global supply expectations.
