Market Commentary

Afternoon Comments 05/21


Old crop soybean futures were hit by talk of accelerated farmer sales in response to rising spot quotes Tuesday morning, but the nearby July contract reversed to the upside later in the day. Ideas that frantic corn plantings will enable farmers to plant beans on time seemingly depressed the deferred contracts. July soybean futures gained 13.75 cents to $14.7825/bushel at the Tuesday close, while July soyoil bounced 0.28 cents to 49.48 cents/pound, and July soybean meal inched $3.4 higher to $438.7/ton.
