Soymeal slightly firmer on technical correction

04 Jan, 2013

 

* "The Chinese have cancelled over a million tonnes of US soybean contracts recently, South America is expected to have a bumper soybean crop and that keeps buyers sidelined from doing much purchasing right now," one broker said.

 

* South American soymeal was offered between unchanged and $5 a tonne up from Thursday mostly following a mild rebound in CBOT soymeal futures on Thursday.

 

* Most other products were quoted between 1 euro per tonne up and 3 euros down from Thursday following weakness in rapeseed futures, mostly taking their cue from CBOT soybeans. Buyers showed little interest.
