"-July Soybeans finished down 49 1/4 at 1406, 55 3/4 off the high and 3 1/2 up from the low. November Soybeans closed down 37 3/4 at 1321 1/4. This was 2 1/2 up from the low and 45 1/4 off the high. July Soybean Oil finished down 1.26 at 52.24, 1.34 off the high and 0.15 up from the low. July soybeans closed 49 1/4 cents lower on the session and closed down 72 1/4 cents for the week. This occurred during a week of a bullish USDA report with funds holding a near record high net long position. Aggressive long liquidation selling from funds emerged due to a "risk off" attitude from investors and from a lack of follow-through buying after the initial reaction to the report. The market fell as much as $1.10 in just 8 trading sessions. A bearish tone to outside market forces and general banking concerns helped to pressure commodity markets overnight and this tone spread to grains early this morning. Even with the strong recovery in the stock market and less pressure on energy markets, the soybean market failed to see much of a bounce. Fund trader long liquidation selling appears to be the dominate force for the market and July futures pushed to a new low for the day late in the session. A general sense that the USDA report did not bring in any "new" bullish factors for the longer-term outlook plus an excellent weather outlook for the US planting season helped to pressure. Meal and oil were also lower into the mid-session with July soybean oil pushing down to the lowest level since February 6th. Weakness in Malaysia palm overnight and weak economic news out of China added to the negative tone. "
