US soybean futures ended flat as prices stabilized in the absence of fresh news to produce definitive movement in either direction. The market has reached a price level that factors in tight supplies and uncertain 2011 production and planting, analysts said. However, slow export and domestic demand, plus the threat of plantings delays for corn possibly shifting some intended corn plantings to soybeans, limits further upside price movement. CBOT July beans end up 3/4c at $13.80 1/4 a bushel.
