Net sales of 25,200 MT for delivery in 2012/2013 were for Japan. Exports of 846,600 MT were primarily reported to China (612,100 MT), Germany (76,400 MT), Egypt (45,200 MT), Mexico (33,600 MT), Taiwan (30,400 MT), and Malaysia (13,400 MT).
Soybean futures were called 2 to 3 cents lower as the market was pressured by outside markets and some fund selling ahead of the USDA reports and European leaders meeting on Friday.
