Thoughts that more acreage will shift to soybeans this spring due to delays in corn planting helped to pressure November soybeans today but the old crop contracts led the market to the downside along with soybean meal. The July/November traded down sharply on profit taking and due to rumors that the US could be close to importing soybeans or meal soon. The USDA announced this morning that US private exports sold 116,000 tonnes of US soybeans to an "unknown" destination for the 2013/14 marketing year. Many in the trade suspect that the sale was made to China after 566,000 tonnes were sold to them between Monday and Tuesday for the same time period. Cash bids remain extremely firm with Decatur, IL paying 105 over the July contract. CIF bids backed off slightly on light export demand interest for old crop bushels. Soybean oil led the oilseed complex to the upside on short covering after the July contract hit a new low for 2013 yesterday and due to a more supportive tone in the Malaysian Palm Oil market overnight. Statistics Canada estimated Canadian canola planting next crop year at 19.133 million acres, down from 21.531 a year ago, and below market estimates of 20.30 million."
