At 3:49 pm (Brasília time), this Thursday (18th), the March contract fell 4.50 points and 0.81% on the Chicago Stock Exchange (CBOT), traded at US$ cents 548.50 / bushel. May was down 3.50 points and 0.67% at $ cents 547.25 / bushel. Maturities accompany the previous day's losses and devaluation of more than 12 points in the soybean spot, despite the rise in common wheat at CBOT. Also beware of the first estimates of the 2021/22 crop that the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) presents between today and tomorrow (19) at the Agricultural Outlook Forum. In addition, the market remains uncertain about the supply of the United States, which is being further limited by the influence of the intense cold that affects soybean, corn and wheat crops in the country's Midwest, in addition to the already commercialized shipments that are getting late. Chinese demand weakened by the Lunar New Year and the climate in Brazil is also monitored.
