On Wednesday, private exporters reported sales of 22,000 metric tons of soybean oil for delivery to unknown destinations during the 2021/2022 marketing year.

Bob Linneman, Kluis Advisors, says that the U.S. soybean crop could get smaller.

“On Tuesday, the USDA reduced the national soybean yield in the November report. The odds are good that we will see an additional reduction in yield in the final crop production report in January,” Linneman stated in a note to customers.

Linneman added, “I am watching global wheat ending stocks continue to move lower and wheat prices move higher. This should help the corn market stabilize. It may eventually lead to larger corn exports with wheat not working into feed rations in most areas of the world.”
