Market Commentary

Midday Report 05/22


Although active farmer selling has reportedly eased the old crop soybean situation somewhat lately, soy futures proved quite firm again Wednesday morning. That probably reflects strength spilling over from the corn market, as well as reported firmness in the Asian palm oil markets Tuesday night. Traders of nearby meal futures may be expecting recent farmer sales to accelerate the crush. July soybean futures edged up 4.75 cents to $14.83/bushel around midsession Wednesday, while July soyoil gained 0.09 cents to 49.57 cents/pound, but July soybean meal slipped $0.7 to $438.0/ton.
