Soybean futures traded strongly lower on Wednesday as USDA reports were largely bearish for soybeans other than for a cut in the production estimate to 3.046 billion bushels from the previous forecast at 3.060 billion. On Thursday soybean futures were called 4 to 5 cents higher as spillover support from corn and some short-covering from recent weakness are expected to help prices bounce this morning.
