Soybean Meal Futures Market News and Commentary

Soybeans Collapsing Lower with Weather and Outside Pressures

Soybeans are trading with 41 to 42 ¼ cent losses across most contracts on Monday. The cmdtyView national average Cash Bean price is 41 1/2 cents lower at $11.72 1/2. Soymeal futures are $11.20 to $11.70 lower, with Soy Oil futures down 250 to 279 points. Crude oil is down $6.63 to add pressure.

The weekly Export Inspections report showed soybean shipments of 348,850 MT (12.82 mbu) in the week of 7/23. That was a 9.3% increase from the week prior but 18.5% below the same week last year. Mexico was the largest destination of 88,217 MT, with 65,154,620 MT shipped to Egypt and 57,290 MT to Japan. Shipments for the marketing year are now at 38.97 MMT (2.843 bbu) of soybeans, which is 17.5% below the same period last year.

The NOAA 7-day QPF shows 1 to 2 inches across much of the Corn Belt from NE across much of IA, MO, IL, and IN over in the next week. The Dakotas and MN are seen with less than 0.5 inch, and spotty totals up to an inch.
