At 2:30 pm (Brasília time), this Tuesday (27th), the May contract registered a fall of 15.25 points and 0.97% on the Chicago Stock Exchange (CBOT), traded at US$ 1553.75 / bushel . July was down 16.25 points and 1.10%, at $ cents 1522.25 / bushel. Maturities went to the negative side this afternoon with the influence of technical profit-making movements after the jump of more than 29 points the day before. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) also reported yesterday (26) that soybean shipments from the country reached 234,000 tonnes in the week of April 22, below the weekly average of 357,000 t forecast by analysts. Despite this, the intense cold that hits the main crops in the USA and expectations of improvement in the international demand for North American agricultural products tried to limit the devaluation of the day. The USDA today reported a sale of 101,600 tonnes of corn to unknown destinations, half of which will be shipped in 2020/21 and the other in 2021/22.
