Soybeans futures are rallying another 13 to 13 1/4 cents on Monday. Jan beans hit $12 overnight but have since backed off. Ongoing dryness in Brazil during early vegetative growth is the concern. Product Values are also driving the market, with competitor canola futures sitting the highest since 2013. Soybean meal is $2.30/ton higher at midday. Bean oil is up another 46 points on Monday after hitting a more than 6-year high last week on the front month continuation chart. They are getting some help from an 8-year high in Malaysian palm oil. This morning’s Export Inspections report from USDA showed another strong week of shipments, with 2.01 MMT inspected for export. That was a 7-week low and down 18.52% from last week’s number (revised higher) but 2.95% larger than the same week last year, which was the MY high. The 24.42 MMT (897.21 mbu) shipped MYTD is the largest on record for this week. AgRural estimates the 20/21 Brazilian soybean crop to be 81% planted, now above the same time last year at 79%.
