November soybeans were up 2¼¢ at $10.09 per bushel.
“Soybeans are showing a little strength to start the week while grains are struggling.” Karl Setzer, partner with Consus Ag Consulting said, “[It is] taking support from a firming cash market and thoughts the U.S. crop may fall short of current estimates, which are already short of projected new crop demand. Soybean harvest is already winding down across the U.S. and basis is firming. Corn basis is also starting to firm as farmers are showing no interest in marketing at today’s values.”
