Soon to expire August soybean futures popped 18 ¼ cents in very thin trading on Friday, while the rest of the bean contracts settled 4 ¾ to 6 cents lower. Soymeal futures were down $5.60 to $9.00 per ton despite the strike in Argentina and potential disruptions to exports of meal and oil. Soy Oil futures settled 20 to 38 points higher. In addition to the Argentine situation, there is an investigation underway to determine if used cooking oil being imported for renewable biodiesel conversion is really that, or the less “green” virgin palm oil. If the imports are not legit, it might favor more soy oil inclusion in renewable diesel production. USDA reported a couple different export sale announcements on Friday morning, with 132,000 MT of new crop sold to China and 212,000 MT of soybeans sold to unknown during the ‘reporting period’ (50,000 MT for old crop and 162,000 MT for new crop). There was also a total of 100,000 MT of bean meal sold to Columbia, with 12,000 MT for 2023/24 and 88,000 MT for 2024/25.The monthly WASDE report on Monday is expected to show soybean stocks for old crop soybeans rising 5 mbu to 350 mbu.
