Soybeans exhibit midweek dip in strength
The soybean market has seen some fluctuations in recent weeks, with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) set to announce the weekly export sales for the 2025/26 season on Thursday morning.
According to the USDA, the estimated soybean production for the season stands at 7.134 MMT. This figure is significant, as soybeans are a crucial component in the production of soy oil and soymeal, both key ingredients in various food and industrial products.
Soy Oil futures have seen a decline, with prices dropping by 120 to 126 points. Simultaneously, soymeal futures have shown a mixed trend, with prices down 80 cents, but also up 20 cents in some instances. The current Cash Bean price stands at $9.67 1/4, down 5 1/4 cents, while nearby Cash is at the same price, reflecting a stable market trend.
In terms of soybean sales, Statistics Canada estimates the country's canola crop at 20.03 MMT. However, the bean oil business is expected to see net reductions between 5,000 MT and sales of 41,000 MT. This indicates a potential surplus or deficit in the market, which could influence prices in the coming weeks.
