Why are Soybean Prices so high?
09-12-2025 - Over the past month, the price of Soybean (CME) has experienced a slight increase, moving from 1091.75 ¢/bsh to 1093.75 ¢/bsh, indicating a stable market with minimal price fluctuations. The forecast predicts a rise to 1106.0 ¢/bsh, an increase of 12.25 ¢/bsh or 1.1% from the current price, suggesting a generally flat trend with low risk due to the modest price change.
The forecast also highlights a potential downward price impact of -7.25 ¢/bsh, primarily influenced by Technical data, such as Futures Curve and Price Signals. However, Demand and Flows data indicate upward pressure, presenting mixed signals for soybean prices.
Recent developments suggest a potential upward trend, consistent with the forecast of 1106.0 ¢/bsh for the coming month. On December 8, 2025, soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade saw a significant increase in trading volume, reaching 339,666 contracts, up from 255,212 contracts the previous Friday. This surge in trading activity reflects heightened market interest and may indicate bullish sentiment among traders.
Additionally, China's soybean imports in November 2025 increased by 13.43% year-on-year to 8.11 million metric tons, driven by strong demand from Brazil and the U.S. This rise in demand from a major importer like China supports the expectation of increasing soybean prices.
These factors collectively support the forecasted upward movement in soybean prices over the next month.
