SOYBEANS– Soybean planting is moving along at a strong pace. The market is likely continuing to move lower due to no confirmation from the Chinese in regard to the $17 billion in US Ag purchases.

Soybeans Trade Lower to End the Week
SOYBEANS– Soybeans continued to sell-off today following the disappointing China meeting. The July and November soybean charts are starting to look ugly. I expect next week to show more weakness. The 1160 area is where soybeans consolidated previously. If soybeans fail to find support there, or above, the market may be headed much lower. Argentina’s harvest is more than halfway …

The Grains Rally Ahead of the May WASDE
SOYBEANS– The market will be watching to see what the USDA does with acreage. Many are expecting to see an increase in bean acreage because farmer surveys were completed before the fighting in Iran kicked off, in addition to farmer switching because of the rally.

Soybeans Trade Higher Ahead of the China Meeting Next Week
SOYBEANS– The meeting between President Trump and China is scheduled for Thursday and Friday next week.
