Soybeans for January delivery settled little changed at $12.34 1/4 a bushel at month end. The USDA reported two flash sales of 2026-27 soybeans totaling about 297,000 metric tons to unknown destinations.
Flash sales show ongoing export demand that supports soybean prices, but the flat settlement indicates the demand was already priced in.
After 696 past bullish trade events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.9%), and +0.7% over 20.
After 224 past neutral trade events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (43% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.2%), and -0.2% over 20.
