Midday Report 06/19
Soybean prices are higher in mid-morning trading due to weather concerns. Weather forecasts predict less rain later this month. Because the supplies are tight and demand is strong, basis bids are higher. However, USDA staff in Beijing forecast Chinese import next year at 67.5 mmt, less than official USDA forecast at 69mmt. July soybean futures gained 1.75 cents to $15.1250 /bushel versus close on Tuesday, whereas July soyoil advanced 0.19 cents to 49.00 cents/pound; July soybean meal skidded $0.5 to $451.3/ton.
