November soybeans traded sharply lower and made a new low for the week as traders took profits ahead of a USDA report that many feel will show an increase in the average US soybean yield and production. The trade is expecting a US average soybean yield near 37 bushels per acre vs. the September estimate of 35.3. Production is expected to rise to near 2.75 billion bushels vs. 2.63 in September. Despite the lower trade midday, many in the market believe that any increase in the average soybean yield and production will be offset slightly by increases in demand. Soybean demand continues to be robust and it the USDA announced this morning that US private exporters sold 120,000 tonnes of soybeans to China for 2012/13 delivery. Soybean basis has held steady to firm in the Gulf of Mexico despite the selloff in futures, however basis bids in areas of Corn Belt have declined as harvest advances. Outside markets were mostly negative on the day with US stocks trading lower along with crude oil."
