Although the market has not fully priced in the positive impact of the reduced soybean planting area due to trade friction concerns, it will be reflected if conditions permit. The higher-than-expected quarterly inventory report has a negative impact, but its persistence is limited as inventory data will change with demand [1][16]. - The trade agreement is always the most important driving factor for US soybeans. Additionally, attention should be paid to the weather in the main soybean-producing areas in the US, the soybean's good-to-excellent rate, and US tariff policies [2][17]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 USDA Planting Area Intentions Report - The USDA's June planting area intentions report estimated that the US soybean planting area in 2025 would be 83.38 million acres, lower than the market expectation and a year-on-year decrease of about 4.2%.

The on-farm inventory was about 410 million bushels, a year-on-year decrease of about 12%, and the off-farm inventory was about 596 million bushels, a year-on-year increase of about 18% [13]. 3.3 Report Impact and Future Outlook - The lower-than-expected soybean planting area in the US in 2025 is beneficial for supporting soybean prices. The planting area intentions report is positive, while the quarterly inventory report is negative, but the impact of the planting area report is greater and crucial for the formation of US soybean production in 2025 [16]. - Future points of attention include: the weather in the main US soybean-producing areas, as the monthly forecast shows high temperatures and less precipitation in some areas in July, and the short-term forecast shows normal precipitation and slightly high temperatures in the next two weeks; the good-to-excellent rate of US soybeans, as the data in June 2025 was lower than the same period last year, and the market may price it in if it continues to be low; and US tariff policies, trade negotiations, or trade agreements, as the trade agreement is the most important driving factor for US soybeans [2][17].
