Marketplace Overview
Variation in commodity prices
In a year marked by the trade war between China and the United States, with a reduction in Chinese agricultural imports, the scenario for commodities was pressured by concerns related to uncertainties on world economic growth, contributing to the natural volatility in agricultural markets.
During 2018, the spot soybean price on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) registered significant volatility. After reaching highs of over 10.50 USD/bu, the spot soybean price on the CBOT tested lows near 8.10 USD/bu.
Spot contracts for corn on the CBOT during 2018 traded between 4.00 USD/bu and 3.30 USD/bu. In the current scenario, under which, for the second straight year, global corn consumption is expected to surpass production, prices in global markets should tend to find support.
