COMMENTARY: SOY BEANS – The beans traded two sided today. The market paused a bit after yesterday’s decline. In my opinion the market has further work to do to the down side. The carry could continue to increase. The demand from the US has slowed. This could last through the first quarter. The Brazilian market should dominate in the export …

Grain Spreads: Bean Oil Surges

Sean LuskGeneral Commentary

Commentary After having topped its pivotal 40-day moving average at 58.73 after today’s opening, December soy oil surged higher. Dec Soybean Oil broke out of its wedge today in my view.  Technically the trade in my opinion could be eyeing the next resistance at 63.60.
