Afternoon Comments 05/20
Continuing tightness of old crop supplies supported nearby soybean futures again Monday despite a very modest result on the weekly Export Inspections report. The large cash premium seems likely to continue adding support. Conversely, the deferred contracts may have been pressured by traders thinking speedy corn plantings would presage a similar surge in soybeans, since an early finish could translate into large harvest next fall. July soybean futures jumped 16.0 cents to $14.645/bushel at the Monday close, while July soyoil sank 0.32 cents to 49.20 cents/pound, and July soybean meal surged $10.2 to $435.3/ton.
