Commentary: SOY: The soy was quiet overall, the meal was weaker. The market is watching the weather this weekend. The Pro Farmer tour released their estimates and estimate the US soy yield 8/10ths lower than the last USDA number. This is not overly significant in my opinion. However, if the weather remains dry the last week of the month, and …

Commentary: SOY: The soy was under pressure. There are some considerations here. The weather is important this month especially for beans.

Commentary: SOY: The soy was quiet today. The bulls have been in control for the past week based on some weather concerns. The Pro Farmer crop tour is running now.

Commentary: The soybeans ended a bit lower, along with the soy meal market. The weakness continues based on the higher ratings and concerns regarding the Chinese US relations.  It is possible the beans and meal pause for a minute here before going lower.

Commentary: The soy did rally today and it was led by meal strength. The oil share is taking a bit of a breather after its recent rally. The meal and beans could extend the rally a bit further.

Commentary: The soy has rallied into an area of resistance. The question now will be what can fuel a further rally. There should be a level of realism regarding supply and demand.
