Optional origin sales were reported for China (66,000 MT). Exports of 321,900 MT were primarily reported to China (177,500 MT), Mexico (60,900 MT), Egypt (24,300 MT), Japan (20,600 MT), and Indonesia (14,000 MT).
Soybean futures were sharply lower on Wednesday as concerns about the global economy triggered funds to liquidate long positions. On Thursday soybeans were called 4 cents lower.
