Soybeans (Source: CME)
US soybean futures end higher for second consecutive session, driven by speculation of fresh export demand from China and technical buying. Traders are hopeful China will aggressively source soybeans near term, similar to early October when China was an active buyer at similar price levels, analysts say. Technical buying added support, as traders viewed futures as oversold after prices establish near-term lows last week. Firm cash prices aided the gains, allowing futures to remain immune to weakness in external markets that weighed on corn and wheat prices, analysts add. CBOT Jan soy ended up 2 3/4c at $11.78 1/4/bushel.

CBOT December soyoil rises 0.24c to 51.22c/pound while December soymeal dropped 30c to $299.20/short ton.
