Afternoon Comments 05/17
Continuing tightness of old crop supplies apparently sent nearby soybean futures sharply higher Friday despite the negative export demand implications of the rallying U.S. dollar. The greenback advance may also increase the chance of soybean imports during the days and weeks ahead. Deferred futures also rose despite the prospect of rainy Corn Belt weather over the weekend (and, ultimately, the potential for late-season switching to soybean plantings). July soybeans jumped 21.0 cents to $14.485/bushel at its Friday close, while July soyoil was steady at 49.52 cents/pound, and July soybean meal leapt $10.2 to $425.1/ton.
