Soybeans Fall on Tuesday, as Traders Look Past Weaker Ratings for Wetter Forecast

Soybeans posted losses of as little as 4 cents in the deferreds, with nearbys own as much as 16 cents. The cmdtyView national average Cash Bean price was down 15 3/4 cents at $11.06 3/4. Soymeal futures were down 30 cents to $3.10 higher, with Soy Oil futures 5 to 70 points lower.

Weekly Crop Progress data indicated 87% of the US soybean crop planted by Sunday, 7% faster than normal. Emergence was 8 percentage points ahead of average at 65%. Crop ratings were released this week, showing 66% of the US soybean crop in good or excellent condition, down 1% from the same week last year and below the 68% estimate. That translates to a 369 on the Brugler500 index, a 3-year low, and the 4th lowest initial rating in the last 13 years. The weakest ratings were in OH at 339, with SD at 352 and IN at 356. The strongest ratings were in IA at 393, with WI at 390.
