OVERALL

  • Soybeans mimicked corn; initially pushing higher on a flash sale of 264k to an unknown destination before falling on disappointing export sales data.
  • The slow down and small volume of soybean purchases from an unknown destination (ie China) has many thinking the volume of import licenses exempt from taxes is in the realm of 3mmt, rather than the 10mmt initially suspected.
  • IGC cut their global soybean production estimate to 341mmt, down 1mmt.
  • USDA weekly export sales data disappointed at 475k.
  • Traces of African Swine Fever have been detected in pork imports into the Philippines.
