Soybean futures rose post-Easter, with contracts gaining 3 to 5½ cents by Monday’s close. The national average cash price climbed 3¼ cents to $10.97½, reflecting modest bullish momentum in the commodity market. USDA data showed soybean export shipments reached 779,352 metric tons last week, up 12.3% from the prior week but down 4.6% year-over-year. China remained the top buyer, accounting for 64% of total shipments. Marketing-year exports for 2025/26 hit 30.67 million metric tons, lagging 26.3% behind last year’s pace. The slowdown underscores weaker global demand amid ongoing supply chain adjustments. Brazil’s soybean harvest progressed to 82% completion, trailing the 87% pace seen in 2025. Delays in South America’s production could tighten near-term supply, supporting price stability. Soymeal futures saw mixed trading, while soy oil gained 40 to 101 points. Analysts note unwinding spreads and potential peaks in oil prices, signaling shifting market dynamics.
