Favorable precipitation in Argentina and Brazil, as well as dry conditions in the Black Sea region, will be the main factors influencing grain markets in the coming weeks

The weather in the US will remain favorable for late crops this week and next, with occasional showers, but drought in the south and east of the country may slightly reduce the yield potential. The rains may delay the soybean and corn harvests, but they will improve conditions for winter sowing.

Heavy rainfall is expected in Canada next week, which will delay the harvest of canola and spring wheat and could reduce crop potential.

Southern Brazil has been experiencing rains, and next week several small cyclones will bring additional rainfall, which will allow for the acceleration of the planting of the first corn crop.

Central Brazil is also expected to see its first rainfall next week, bringing down temperatures and helping to accumulate moisture, although mass soybean planting will begin with the rainy season, expected in late September.

Recent heavy rains in Argentina have helped wheat to fill in and replenish soil moisture ahead of corn planting. Soil moisture is adequate for planting, and morning temperatures are just above freezing, so farmers can begin planting soon.

Europe will experience heavy rainfall this week and next, which will help accumulate moisture before sowing, although it will delay the harvest of late crops.

Cyclones will bring precipitation and lower temperatures to the western regions of Ukraine , but the south and east will remain without productive precipitation, so the sowing and development of winter rapeseed crops will take place under unfavorable conditions.

There was little precipitation in the southwest of the Russian Federation, but not in all regions, so the potential yield of sunflower and corn is decreasing, and the sowing of winter wheat begins under unfavorable conditions.

Heavy rains in eastern Australia have helped wheat and canola to enter the reproductive stage of growth. However, falling temperatures are increasing the risk of frost over the next few days, which could also be damaging. Another front with precipitation will move into Western Australia this weekend, before moving into the southeast early next week, bringing scattered showers.

Recent rainfall in central and northeastern China is improving the yield potential of corn and soybeans, and is also helping to prepare the soil for sowing of winter wheat and rapeseed. Several beneficial cyclones and fronts are forecast to pass through over the next few weeks.
