This morning the USDA announced export sales to three destinations:

- Colombia is buying 100,000 metric tons of soybean cake and meal — 12,000 for 2023/2024 and 88,000 for 2024/2025.
- Unidentified destinations are buying 212,000 metric tons of soybeans — 50,000 for 2023/2024 and 162,000 for 2024/2025.
On Monday the USDA is expected to release the August World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. Bob Linneman, commodities broker with Kluis Commodity Advisors, questions: “If we get a bearish USDA report on Monday, will it set a low on the charts? A bearish report followed by a positive close on Monday would be a good sign for the bulls.”

September crude oil is down 7¢.
The U.S. Dollar Index September contract is down to 102.94.
