US soybean futures climbed, managing to stabilize after yesterday's sharp slide.

Traders also took the opportunity to cover some positions ahead of Thursday's USDA reports. Weakness in US dollar provided some outside support to buoying futures as well, analysts add. CBOT July soybeans ended 0.8% higher at $13.94 a bushel; Nov soy rose 0.9% to $13.85 1/4.
