Soybean Futures Market News and Commentary

Soy Futures Close Mixed

The pre-report day trading ended with a mixed close in soybeans. Old crop was down 1 3/4 to 3 3/4 cents at the bell, while most new crop futures were up by a penny. Soymeal prices were $1.10 to $1.70 higher at the close. BO prices closed near their lows on 74 to 101 point losses. 

USDA’s FAS reported 348,177 MT of soybeans were sold during the week that ended 3/23. That was a large increase for the week but was still less than half of the same week last year. That set the season’s total commitments at 49.761 MMT or 1.83 bbu. Forward sales for next year were at 1.75 MMT as of 3/23. That is only 20% of the figure a year ago. 

The report showed soymeal sales were 378k MT for the week. That was a MY high led by sales to Philippines. Meal commitments were at 8.764 MMT as of 3/23. The weekly soy oil sales were 1,964 MT for the week which was a sharp drop from last week’s 10k MT sale. Accumulated BO commitments were at 76k MT as of 3/23.
