"-Asia stock markets fell Wednesday to give up some of the strong gains from the previous session, as hopes for an aggressive stimulus spending in China faltered, and as more trouble in Spain posed fresh threats to the euro zone. Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average JP:100000018 -0.28% dropped 0.8%, while South Korea’s Kospi KR:SEU -0.27% and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 index AU:XJO -0.49% each lost 0.6%. In China, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index HK:HSI -1.92% slumped 1.9%, and the Shanghai Composite CN:000001 -0.21% shed 0.2%. Optimism about Chinese stimulus measures to power the economy took a hit after a state media report suggested the package will be relatively mild, compared to actions taken at the height of the global financial crisis, in late 2008.

"-July Soybeans finished down 8 1/2 at 1378 1/4, 16 1/4 off the high and 14 up from the low. November Soybeans closed up 3 1/4 at 1296 3/4. This was 15 1/2 up from the low and 5 1/4 off the high. July Soymeal closed down 2.5 at 410.0. This was 5.3 up from the low and 5.0 off the high. July Soybean Oil finished down 0.45 at 49.72, 0.64 off the high and 0.32 up from the low. November soybeans spent much of the day lower on the session but saw late buying support on longer-term weather uncertainties to support the market late in the session. July soybeans saw a strong recovery off of the mid-session lows but still closed moderately lower on the day. Outside market forces were consider very negative and this helped to spark long liquidation selling in commodity markets; especially markets like soybeans where fund traders hold a hefty net long positions. European economic woes and a surge in the US dollar to the highest level since August 30th of 2010 has added to the "risk off" attitude. While traders see dry weather stress as an issue, talk of good rains this week in the Midwest and more rain for next week before a ridging pattern moves in has kept weather as a negative force. Confirmation that China is NOT planning another major stimulus program was also seen as a negative factor for the global economy. Weakness in the other grains and other commodity markets like crude oil and gold added to the negative tone. The weekly progress report showed a record fast planting pace with 89% of the crop planted compared to 76% last week and 48% last year."

CPO futures retrace amid Long covering after the market have recovered for the past three sessions since last Friday. Bulls might be taking some breather, giving way for the some technical correction but will easily give up their interest if the price fall lower than 3,100 level soon. Bulls life are hanging by threat as it is too easy for the Bears to win over if the Soya oil futures continue to closed below 50 cents.
