CBOT July soybeans rose 1.2% to $438 per ton, the highest in nearly six weeks, and soybean meal gained nearly 3% to $361.3 per ton. Gains were attributed to higher oil prices lifting soybean oil biofuel demand, along with the rejection of Argentine meal shipments in Europe.
Stronger soybean oil demand for biodiesel raises crush margins, which increases meal output and can cap meal price gains. Argentine meal rejections add support by redirecting European buying to US supplies.
