With a global focus on clean energy transition, the use of biofuels could be favorable for soybean prices. Some traders are already forecasting a bump in prices, but regulatory measures by the incoming U.S. presidential administration in 2025 could add to that momentum.
Brazil's decision to pump the brakes on soybean production could help the slide in prices, but according to a Reuters report, it may not produce the desired results for bullish soybean traders and investors. Soybean prices have fallen about 20% for the year despite harsh weather conditions and infestations adding pressure to Brazilian farmers.
