The market is no longer moving as one single agri story – today, crop-specific fundamentals are driving price action. 📌 Here’s what stands out in our latest reports: 🌾 Grains: Wheat remains highly sensitive to geopolitical developments and uncertain crop conditions. Corn is balancing firm demand with improving supply prospects. Barley is gradually entering a softer seasonal phase as attention shifts to the new crop. 🌱 Oilseeds & veg oils: Soymeal remains the strongest segment of the soy complex. Rapeseed is supported by limited old-crop seed availability. Sunflower seed prices stay firm amid constrained supply. Tight sunflower oil availability continues to support offers, even as demand starts to soften. 📘 Our Global Grain & Oilseeds Report delivers a detailed breakdown of: • market balances; • key price drivers; • physical market trends; • futures market structure across the global agricultural complex. 🔒 Full reports are available via closed subscription. 📱 Note for iOS users: for the standard subscription rate, we recommend subscribing via Patreon on the web rather than in the iOS app. 👉 Access them through our Patreon link above or contact us directly for details at analyst@prospex-agro.com or back-office@prospex-agro.com #AgMarkets #Oilseeds

🇺🇸 NOPA March Sends a Mixed Market Signal 🏭 🫛 U.S. soybean crush stayed historically strong, yet still came in below trade expectations, while soyoil stocks also missed estimates. 🛢️ That keeps the crush story firm on throughput, but the oil side looks less comfortable than the market had penciled in. Strong processing is there, though inventories did not build as much as expected. 📌 Takeaway: solid operational demand, but not the kind of report that fully loosens the soyoil balance. 👇 How are you reading this mix of strong crush and lower-than-expected soyoil stocks? #Soybeans #NOPA

🇪🇺 EU Trade Is Becoming Less Import-Dependent 🚢 🌾 This season’s flows point to a firmer internal EU balance: grain imports are down across key products while exports remain resilient. In vegetable oils, demand looks more selective, with stronger soyoil and rapeseed oil imports but softer sunflower oil and palm oil flows. 📌 A shift worth watching for trade competitiveness and nearby demand. 👇 Which matters more right now: softer EU grain imports or the shift in vegetable oil demand? #EUTrade #GrainMarkets

🇺🇸 USDA Has Issued a Correction To The April 9 Export Inspections Report 🚢 📊 The revised data turns the weekly tone softer across the board: corn, soybeans, and wheat were all lower than first reported, and soybeans no longer show a weekly increase. 📌 That keeps the demand picture more cautious, with soybeans still relatively firmer year-on-year, but the broader export flow looking weaker than the initial release suggested.

🇺🇸 US Grains & Oilseeds: Mixed Export Flow, Steady Crop Progress 🚢 🫛 Soybeans were the main bright spot in this week’s export inspections, while corn and wheat lost some weekly momentum. That leaves the demand picture mixed, with soybean movement looking firmer but no broad-based acceleration across the grain complex. 🚜 Crop progress still points to a steady early-season pace. 🌽 Corn planting reached 5%, slightly ahead of the average, while 🫛 soybean planting moved to 6%, well ahead of normal. 🌾 Spring wheat was 6%, close to the seasonal pace, and barley reached 13%, also ahead of average. Winter wheat heading advanced to 11%, but crop conditions remain weaker than a year ago, with 34% rated good/excellent versus 47% last year. 🗨️ Which part of this update do you think the market will focus on first? #USDA #USGrains

🇧🇷 Brazil: Record Crop, Uneven Market Signals 🚜 🫛 Conab’s latest update keeps Brazil’s 2025/26 grain outlook broadly positive, led by record soybean production and a larger overall crop. 🌽 Corn remains mixed, with first-crop gains offset by a weaker second crop, while 🌾 wheat looks tighter on lower output and lower stocks. ❔ How are you reading Brazil’s latest grain balance update? #Brazil #Conab

🇲🇾 Exports Tighten Malaysia’s Palm Oil Balance 🌴 🚢 Malaysia’s March palm oil market turned tighter as stronger exports more than offset a recovery in production, pulling stocks down for a third straight month to a seven-month low. 📌 That keeps the near-term tone supportive, with April export pace now the key signal to watch. 👇 Will export momentum be enough to keep palm oil prices supported into April? #PalmOil #Malaysia

🇧🇷 Brazil Exports Stay Strong – Soybeans Lead The Pace 🚢 🫛 Brazil’s April shipment schedule remains solid, with soybeans leading and soybean meal still stronger year-on-year. 🌽 Corn is also picking up, reinforcing Brazil’s weight in nearby export flows. ❔ Which market do you think reacts first to this export pace? #Soybeans #Brazil

🌎 April WASDE: Looser Wheat and Corn, Tighter Soybeans 📊 🌾 Bigger crops in the 🇪🇺 EU and russia, plus weaker use in 🇮🇳 India, pushed global wheat stocks higher, while lower exports from 🇺🇦 Ukraine, 🇦🇺 Australia, and 🇧🇷 Brazil were only partly offset by russia and 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan. 📦 Trade expectations for wheat ending stocks were 277.07 MMT, with the report coming in above that level. 🌽 Corn also leaned slightly heavier, supported by stronger production and export potential in 🇮🇳 India, 🇿🇦 South Africa, and russia. 📦 Trade expectations for corn ending stocks stood at 293.07 MMT, with the report slightly above that level. 🫛 Soybeans were the exception, with slightly tighter global ending stocks and stronger crush in the 🇺🇸 U.S., 🇧🇷 Brazil help offset higher production and comfortable supplies. 📦 Trade expectations for soybean ending stocks were 125.51 MMT, with the report coming in below that level. 🇺🇸 In the U.S., wheat ending stocks rose to the highest since 2019/20, corn demand stayed above last year, and soybean crush increased again despite lower exports. 📌 Takeaway: this WASDE looked less like a supply shock and more like a shift in trade flows, with Black Sea and EU wheat, heavier corn competition, and South America still setting the soybean tone. 👇 Which of these shifts do you think matters most for near-term trade flows? #WASDE #AgMarkets

🇨🇳 China’s Balance Sheet Is Steady – But The Market Is Still Watching The Pressure Points 📊 🌽 China’s April CASDE update leaves corn, soybeans and edible vegetable oils broadly unchanged m/m, but the market message is not entirely neutral. Corn still faces a softer nearby tone from cautious buying, soybeans remain weighed by comfortable supply, and vegetable oils stay steady for now with rapeseed weather risk still in focus. 📌 Takeaway: No major shift in the balance sheet, but sentiment still looks sensitive to demand pace, supply comfort, and crop conditions. 💬 Which of these markets do you think is most vulnerable to a sentiment shift in the near term? #China #CASDE

🇪🇺 EU Trade Flows Are Shifting – Grains Look Firmer, Oils More Selective 🚢 🌾 EU grain trade looks firmer, with stronger wheat and barley exports and lower imports across key grains. That points to a less import-dependent grain balance, even as corn flows remain softer. 🫛 In oilseeds and veg oils, imports look more selective, with weaker soybean and rapeseed buying and a shift toward soyoil and rapeseed oil over sunflower seed oil and palm oil. 👇 Which shift in the EU trade mix stands out most to you? #EU #Commodities

🇺🇸 U.S. Grain Exports Still Look Mixed, But The Tone Remains Constructive 🚢 🌽 Corn continues to lead, with inspections, YTD pace, and February exports all ahead of last year. 🫛 Soybeans posted stronger February exports, but weekly inspections still lag year-ago levels. 🌾 Wheat is more mixed: exports are up and heading is slightly ahead of average, but crop ratings in the selected states are weaker than a year ago. 🚜 Corn planting is slightly ahead of normal, while spring wheat is slightly behind and barley is near average. 📌 Takeaway: Corn still shows the strongest demand signal, soybeans remain mixed, and wheat keeps the market focused on both export flow and crop conditions. 👇 How are you reading the current export pace across corn, soybeans, and wheat? #GrainExports #USDA
