CBOT soybeans extend rally on smaller US harvest outlook

ReutersAug 13, 2025 6:40 PM

- Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures rose for a third straight session on Wednesday, supported by tighter expected supplies after the U.S. Department of Agriculture cut its harvest outlook a day earlier.

  • The USDA on Tuesday projected the average U.S. soybean yield at a record high this autumn, but sharply cut harvested acres, resulting in a much smaller-than-expected harvest outlook this year.

  • The USDA is due to release weekly export sales data early on Thursday. Analysts polled by Reuters expect net soybean sales in the week ended August 7 at 200,000 to 700,000 metric tons for the 2024/25 crop year and sales of 400,000 to 900,000 tons for 2025/26.

  • CBOT November soybeans SX25 settled 11-1/2 cents higher at $10.44-1/4 per bushel. The actively traded contract, after breaking through technical resistance at key moving averages on Tuesday, filled a chart gap around $10.44 and reached its highest since July 3.

  • CBOT September soymeal SMU25 rose $5.60 to settle at $287.00 per short ton.

  • CBOT September soyoil BOU25 gained 0.15 cent to close at 53.39 cents per pound.
