The soybean market saw an inside day today with prices finishing higher on the day. However, wheat was today's leader and soybeans only finished near the middle of the day's range. Meal and oil posted similar gains in new crop contracts. Funds were buyers on the day in the complex and across the floor. They bought at least 5000 contracts in soybeans, 2500 in oil and 1500 in meal. Traders said that weather and late season concerns over soybean yields were the major factors moving the market today along with an early session rally in crude oil and gold. Increased tensions between farmers and the government in Argentina are also thought to be a supportive factor, although there is no sign of an imminent strike at this point.
