"-May Soybeans finished up 14 at 1455, 16 off the high and 15 up from the low. July Soybeans closed up 15 at 1387 1/4. This was 15 1/4 up from the low and 12 1/2 off the high.
July Soymeal closed up 0.3 at 406.5. This was 0.9 up from the low and 7.3 off the high. July Soybean Oil finished up 0.78 at 49.27, 0.08 off the high and 0.83 up from the low. May soybeans traded higher on the day but the May/July calendar spread broke lower late in the session on rumors deliveries against the May contract might be made. Interior basis levels continue to be extremely firm on tight supply pipelines and light farmer sales as many begin planting in the eastern Corn Belt while the western states are shut down after an unusual, late season snow storm. Bull spreading was extremely active early in the session but the July/November spread broke lower late in the day on rumors out of Argentina. Many traders believe the US is close to importing soybeans or meal but no confirmation of this has been made. July soybean meal was higher today as US domestic crush margins remain favorable given the firm meal basis across the US and steady demand. Meal sales have already exceeded the USDA estimate for the 2012/13 marketing year but many worry that we simply do not have the soybeans in the US to fulfill the obligations."
