Soymeal down with CBOT on USDA data: European feeds

Published Updated

"We saw follow-through selling on the back of the USDA supply/demand data and because of the strong dollar. Buyers were still holding back waiting for the market to bottom out. Business is slowly getting into the pre-Christmas doldrums, which does not help either," one broker said.

South American soymeal was offered $5 to $7 down from Friday following the trend in CBOT soymeal futures and because of a strong dollar, which weighs on dollar-priced products. Bids were scarce and no deals were reported.

Most other products were quoted flat to a somewhat lower from Friday, following the trend in soymeal and because of weak rapeseed futures. Buyers showed little interest and no business was seen.
