“…Markets will close an hour early on Christmas Eve, and not re-open until Friday morning. Trading volume will likely be light around the holiday, as well as next week with the New Year’s holiday.
“….USDA announced a fresh soybean sale this morning to China that could give bean prices a further boost. The purchase of 396,000 metric tons (14.55 million bushels) is for the current marketing year, except for 66,000 metric tons that is for 2026/2027.”
Al Kluis, managing director of Kluis Commodity Advisors, noted this morning: “I am watching for the first day that soybeans can close above the two previous days’ highs to signal a low in the soybean market. We are now in the ideal two-week time period [where I expect] a major change-of-trend low.”
