Afternoon Comments 06/18
Although the U.S. soybean situation is very tight, nearby July CBOT futures declined in apparent response to an Oil World forecast of significant imports during early summer. In contrast, talk that global exports will be unable to meet demand later in the year, as well as news of a sizeable new-crop sale to China, supported the deferred contracts Tuesday. July soybean futures declined 1.75 cents to $15.1075/bushel as Tuesday trading wound down, whereas July soyoil slid 0.03 cents to 48.81 cents/pound; July soybean meal gained $2.7 to $451.8/ton.
