NEWS TO WATCH OUT FOR

- PALM:

Palm oil prices have been under pressure of late due to expectations of a recovery in Malaysian palm oil stocks
at the end of July, scheduled to be released on Aug 10. Another bearish factor is to be seen in near normal or
above-normal rainfall in many parts of Malysia and Indonesia in July in contrast to earlier concern about El-niño
related dryness.

- SOYBEAN:

Part of the pressure comes from the new figures that the USDA brought yesterday, pointing to an improvement of
two percentage points in the index of crops in good or excellent conditions from 52% to 54%, signaling the effects
of the rains that recently reached the Corn Belt.

Thus, the adjustments of positions continue in Chicago, especially this week, when the USDA brings its new
monthly supply and demand bulletin, with high expectations about soybean productivity. The data will be
released on Friday, the 11th.

Rain forecast for the next 7 days:

- USA (USD)

In the United States, during the week, the trade balance and inflation indices will be reflected, with consumer
