Soybean futures rebounded slightly Monday morning, gaining 1–3 cents after Friday’s 5–14½-cent losses in front-month contracts, with May futures down 2 cents last week. The EPA finalized 2026–27 biofuel mandates, setting biomass-based diesel at 8.86–8.95 billion RINs—higher than proposed—while cutting foreign feedstock RIN values by 50% in 2028. Export commitments fell 18% year-over-year to 37.256 MMT, lagging the USDA’s 95% average pace, signaling weaker global demand. Speculative funds reduced net long positions by 4,093 contracts to 197,904, reflecting cautious sentiment ahead of Tuesday’s USDA planting intentions report. Brazil’s soybean harvest reached 75%, with output at 178.4 MMT—up 0.4 MMT—while U.S. stocks are projected at 2.067 billion bushels, 158 million higher than last year.
