Soybeans Are Heating Up. Here's What Could Take Them Much Higher.
November soybean futures (ZSX25) present a buying opportunity on more price strength. See on the daily bar chart for November soybean futures that prices have rallied from the August low and last week hit a six-week high. See, too, at the bottom of the chart that the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator is in a bullish posture as the blue MACD line is above the red trigger line and both lines are trending higher.

Cocoa Prices Slip on Rain Forecasts for the Ivory Coast Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Fundamentally, the soybean futures market last week got a friendly USDA monthly supply and demand report, a bullish monthly crush report, and it appears traders have already factored into present prices a bumper U.S. soybean crop to be harvested this fall. Icing on the cake for the bean bulls in the coming weeks would be better U.S.-China trade relations that would likely mean better Chinese demand for U.S. soybeans. A move in November soybean futures above chart resistance at last week's high of $10.49 1/4 would give the bulls fresh power and it would also become a buying opportunity. The upside price objective would be $11.25, or above. Technical support, for which to place a protective sell stop just below, is located at $10.20. IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a futures broker and do not manage any trading accounts other than my own personal account. It is my goal to point out to you potential trading opportunities. However, it is up to you to: (1) decide when and if you want to initiate any trades and (2) determine the size of any trades you may initiate. Any trades I discuss are hypothetical in nature. Here is what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has said about futures trading (and I agree 100%): Trading commodity futures and options is not for everyone. IT IS A VOLATILE, COMPLEX AND RISKY BUSINESS. Before you invest any money in futures or options contracts, you should consider your financial experience, goals and financial resources, and know how much you can afford to lose above and beyond your initial payment to a broker. You should understand commodity futures and options contracts and your obligations in entering into those contracts. You should understand your exposure to risk and other aspects of trading by thoroughly reviewing the risk disclosure documents your broker is required to give you.

America's Coffee Crisis? Tariffs Just Crushed the Brazilian Bean Pipeline
U.S. coffee roasters are scrambling after the Trump administration's 50% tariff on Brazilian beans took effect on August 6. Imports from Brazilnormally the source of a third of America's unroasted coffeehave virtually frozen, with buyers walking away from fresh deals and trying to renegotiate old ones. Florida-based Zaza Coffee, which still has 14 to 16 weeks of Brazilian supply left, said it's already planning to switch to beans from Central America, Peru, or Mexico. Brazil's exporter group Cecafe confirmed that some U.S. buyers are asking for delayed shipments in the hopes the tariff policy might shift. No one's really buying anything, said coffee broker Thiago Cazarini. For now, most roasters are holding their breath. Brazil dominates the arabica marketa smoother bean favored in premium blends and used exclusively by Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX). That makes replacements tricky. Roasters have blends that they like to keep as consistent as they can in any given cost environment, said Rabobank's Jim Watson. But consistency is getting expensive. San Francisco-based Ritual Coffee Roasters said a 10% tariff was already tough to swallow50% is staggering and insurmountable. Some companies are responding by stockpiling futures contracts or leaning harder into origins like Vietnam and Uganda, where tariffs are lower and supplies more predictable. If the impasse drags on, more Brazilian beans could flow to Europewhere demand is strong and traceability rules are tighteningor to China, a growing coffee market. In the U.S., though, sourcing alternatives isn't cheap. Honduran offers are already running 30 to 40 cents a pound above futures, and Colombian exporters are holding back entirely, waiting to see if the market jumps. We have a window where maybe something changes, said Zaza's JP Juarez. But if it doesn't, American roasters might have to start rethinking the tasteand the economicsof their daily brew.

US accepts Brazil's WTO consultation request over tariffs
By Isabel Teles SAO PAULO (Reuters) -The United States has accepted a request for consultations from Brazil at the World Trade Organization regarding tariffs it imposed on its goods, even as it argued the levies are a matter of national security, according to a document posted on the WTO website. President Donald Trump slapped a 50% tariff on most Brazilian imports earlier this month, in response to what he has called a "witch hunt" against his Brazilian ally, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial on charges of plotting a coup following his election loss in 2022. In the document submitted to the WTO on Monday, the U.S. argues that certain requests from Brazil relate to issues of national security, which are "political matters not susceptible to review or capable of resolution by WTO dispute settlement." The tariffs, the document added, were necessary because recent policies and practices of Brazil are "undermining the rule of law and threatening the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States."
