Soybeans (CME)
US soybean futures end higher, driven by a broad-based recovery in commodity markets. Easing concern over the state of the world economy encouraged traders to add some risk, particularly with signs of stability in external financial markets, analysts say. Soy futures were viewed as oversold after steep losses dropped prices near one-year lows. However, harvest pressure and a lack of demand emerging from recent price breaks limited advances, analysts add. CBOT Nov soy end up 3 3/4c at $11.63 3/4/bushel.
Soybean Meal/Oil (CME)
Soy product futures bounced in unison with soybeans, supported by traders returning to commodity markets after pressure in external financial markets eased. The absence of fresh demand news limited advances, with traders viewing the bounce as more of a correction from recent losses than any new fundamental development, analysts say. CBOT Dec soymeal finished up $3.10 at $305.20/short ton, and Dec soyoil end up 0.20 cents at 49.20 cents/pound.
