Afternoon Comments 05/22
Although active farmer selling has reportedly eased the old crop soybean situation somewhat lately, soy futures proved quite firm again Wednesday. That probably reflected 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, thereby limiting soymeal gains. July soybean futures surged 16.0 cents to $14.9425/bushel Wednesday afternoon, while July soyoil gained 0.16 cents to 49.64 cents/pound, but July soybean meal rose $1.9 to $440.6/ton.
