Pro Farmer: After the Bell Soybean Recap (Source:CME)
Soybean futures posted double-digit losses in all but the front-month contract, which ended just slightly lower. But futures posted a low-range close across the board, with meal and soyoil seeing spillover pressure. Soybeans were firmer in early trade, but as the day progressed, selling intensified due to improved moisture chances for the Corn Belt.

Soybean Complex Market Recap(Source:CME)
August Soybeans finished down 2 1/4 at 1605 1/4, 22 1/4 off the high and 2 1/4 up from the low. November Soybeans closed down 18 1/2 at 1565 3/4. This was 3 3/4 up from the low and 39 3/4 off the high. August Soymeal closed down 5.9 at 512.3. This was 1.0 up from the low and 10.5 off the high. August Soybean Oil finished down 0.19 at 51.29, 0.71 off the high and 0.01 up from the low. Soybeans bounced midday but long liquidation was ultimately too much for bulls. November soybeans turned sharply lower near noon and ended the day near the session lows. Reports that China purchased 4 cargos of US Soybeans were pushed aside as profit taking was the featured trade today. A closely followed crop scout left his average US soybean yield unchanged at 38 bushels per acre citing relief from recent rainfall in the east. While last week's rainfall was beneficial to some areas of the Corn Belt, others remain dry. Temperatures are expected to moderate for most of this week but another round of 90-100 degree temperatures are expected next week for the central and southern Midwest. A chance of better rain for parts of the Corn Belt next week offered resistance. One market analyst suggests soybean stocks for major exporters in South America have fallen to 45.4 million tonnes, or a 22.5 million tonnes drop from a year earlier. This has raised questions as to if Brazil soybean crushers will need to import soybeans from neighboring countries to support their local livestock industry. The US Dollar traded slightly lower and crude oil was higher, adding slight support to the commodity complex midday.
