US soybean futures tumbled, dropping more than 2% on broad-based commodity selling. Market was caught up in commodity wide long liquidation, with investors reducing risk exposure, reflective of the fall in energy and metal futures, said Mike Zuzolo, president Global Commodity Analytics. Forecasts calling for soggy fields of the eastern Midwest and Delta to remain wet, added to defensive tone.

CBOT July soybeans ended 29 1/4c or 2.1% lower at $13.63 3/4 a bushel.
