"-Oil futures stuck close to $106 a barrel in electronic trading late Tuesday following news of a fall in U.S. crude supplies that generally matched expectations.

"-August Soybeans finished up 21 1/2 at 1475 1/4, 12 3/4 off the high and 22 1/4 up from the low. November Soybeans closed up 22 1/2 at 1286 1/4. This was 20 3/4 up from the low and 10 3/4 off the high. August Soymeal closed up 15.3 at 466.8. This was 14.6 up from the low and 3.9 off the high. August Soybean Oil finished down 0.13 at 45.71, 0.53 off the high and 0.08 up from the low. The soybean market traded sharply higher on the day and found good buying support on a setback at the midpoint of the session near the 50% retracement of the June high to July low. Strong buying support was seen into the closing bell. Bull spreading was active again today both in the old vs. new crop soybean complex as well as the meal market. Basis bids remain extremely strong on the river and in interior processing markets with facilities in the east paying 130 to 140 over. Meal end users were attempting to hold off on more coverage due to strong cash premiums and the massive inverse between nearby shipment and forward delivery. Supplies remain extremely tight and there was some talk today that Argentina meal was close to working into the US but nothing has been confirmed. The weather remains a wild card at this point with plenty of time left to make or break the new crop. Conditions are trending drier for areas of NE and IA but weather patterns have impacted the crops more favorably in IL and to the east. Weather premium is likely to remain in the market for a substantial period of time until there is more clarity and conviction as to the overall production potential given how tight the US old crop supply is."
FCPO- Downside Yet Subside
Diminishing demand on Ramadhan festive season on all major palm oil importers dragged down the price further yesterday. It is a losing battle for the Bulls to keep up with the Bears for the time being as Sellers always outnumbered Buyers when the Oct contract hitting below any support level. Closing down on eight months low, the benchmark Oct did not show any sign of recovering yet. The price action still suggest that more Bearish condition for the price to fall further. On external side, the USDA has estimate higher output and stockpiles level for Soy beans as well.To make things worse, export in Indonesia for June dropped about 11% as demand in India, China and Pakistan were badly affected due to weaker currencies in India and economy slow down in China. For today, market is expected to move within a sideways range judging on overnight Soy bean oil that close slightly lower at 45.71 cents per pound.
