Bullish and bearish watch framework
A tighter production outlook, stronger exports, or lower inventories can support prices. Favorable weather, improving yields, or weaker demand can add pressure. Focus on changes from expectations rather than the headline level alone.
Timing and events
Watch U.S. and Brazilian growing seasons and news on Chinese purchases. Confirm release times with the relevant central bank or public agency because schedules can change.
Key risks
Weather forecasts and government reports can cause sharp gaps. Strong seasonality and differences across regions or crop years can complicate comparisons.
