Soja e milho: calor nos EUA e geada no Brasil; os rumos dos grãos pelo mundo.

In the international scenario, the calm in the Gulf and the strength of the American economy are pushing the dollar above R$ 5.20, guaranteeing support for soybean prices in Brazil, which maintains exports at a record pace. Meanwhile, the market is turning its attention to the weather in the United States, where excessive heat could threaten crops in full bloom. Vlamir Brandalizze comments that these factors directly impact prices in Chicago and the marketing strategies for the new crop. The corn market is experiencing days of apprehension and adjustments. On the one hand, frosts in Paraná put about 15% of the areas that have not yet reached full maturity at risk. On the other hand, the abundant supply from the Mato Grosso harvest is beginning to put pressure on prices, with the additional challenge of a lack of transportation to move the crop. In the external scenario, American corn continues to be in good condition, but finds support at four dollars in Chicago. Vlamir Brandalizze explains why the trend is for stability in the short term, but with indications of tight supply for next year. The scenario for American sorghum begins the season with production challenges. With only half of the crops in good or excellent condition, the United States is already projecting a significantly smaller harvest than last year. This drop of almost 10% in plant quality in Kansas and other producing regions could reduce global supply and increase demand for Brazilian grain. Vlamir Brandalizze emphasizes that now is the time to closely monitor export opportunities for the next season.
