Soybeans fell to around $12.13 per bushel, retreating from the more than two-year high of $12.50 reached on July 24, as a sharp decline in crude oil prices weighed on agricultural commodities. Oil tumbled after the US and Iran paused military strikes over the weekend following two weeks of hostilities, boosting hopes that diplomatic efforts could ease tensions and restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the pullback, concerns over global crop supplies persisted. Heatwaves in Europe and continued attacks between Russia and Ukraine have disrupted agricultural trade, including damage to grain infrastructure and shipping routes. Meanwhile, Geneva-based vegetable oil producer Allseeds suspended operations in Ukraine’s Odesa region due to intensified attacks on port facilities. However, discussions on measures to safeguard Black Sea shipping have raised hopes that export flows can continue with limited disruption.
