Crop Prices Rise as Dollar Weakens, Brazil Harvest Updates

Wednesday, February 25, 2026 at 4:45 PM

Soybean and corn prices gained ground today due to technical buying patterns and a weaker U.S. dollar. Brazil has completed harvesting approximately 2 billion bushels of soybeans, while traders await Thursday's export sales data to see if China increases purchases.

Agricultural commodity markets saw upward movement today as soybean prices climbed higher driven by technical purchasing activity and investors covering short positions. The weakening U.S. dollar also provided additional support for grain prices.

South American harvest updates show Brazil has completed collection of roughly 2 billion bushels of soybeans from their current growing season. Meanwhile, recent rainfall in Argentina is primarily helping crops that were planted later in the season.

Market participants are closely monitoring Thursday morning’s export sales report, scheduled for release at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time, to determine whether Chinese buyers will increase their purchasing activity. There have been some reports of U.S. soybean transactions, though details remain limited.

The combination of short covering by traders and weakness in the dollar has created a supportive environment for both soybean and corn futures as agricultural markets continue to react to global supply and demand factors.
