The soybean market traded down sharply today, led by losses in the August contract which was down over 55 cents. November soybeans traded down 10-12 cents midday but came under heavy sell pressure late in the session to end the day over 25 cents lower. Meal and oil are also trading down with December soybean oil trading at its lowest level since June 28th. Basis fell apart in the interior of the US and in the export market which pressured front-end calendar spreads in meal and soybeans lower. The nearby CIF market was indicated to be down 70 cents for July shipment and 25 cents in the first half August shipment slot. There was some talk that the Chinese intended on releasing 3 million tonnes of inventory out of reserves to their domestic market for crushers but no confirmation has been made. The move could spark some export sales cancelations or mean that open old crop sales with the US are rolled into the 13/14 marketing year. Weather is seen as a negative force for the new crop soybean market after steady rainfall fell in central IA, southern WI, and northern IL in the last 48 hours. Temperatures are holding at moderate levels and appear non-threatening to the crop. Scouts in the southeast and delta indicate that soybean yield potential looks impressive so far given recent moisture trends in the region."

For today, the benchmark Oct important support level is located around 2,245 follow by 2,232 while resistance is pegged at 2,277.
