Options exercised to export the commodity from the United States were for China (66,000 MT). Exports of 1,008,300 MT were reported primarily to China (772,100 MT), Japan (98,900 MT), Mexico (65,600 MT), Taiwan (26,400 MT), Canada (19,500 MT), and Indonesia (14,400 MT).
Soybean futures closed strongly lower on Wednesday as strength in the dollar index and weaknesses in the stock market triggered fund long liquidation in the soybean market. On Thursday soybeans opened 6 to 7 cents higher.
