Yeah it's partially seasonal and July supposedly reflects the buildup of new crop, 2nd reason was in the previous recent rally, we were told there were very few cash buyers at those levels, and when it dropped, the phones started ringing again. Cash premiums are still very weak in Brazil for this time of the year.
