CBOT soybeans ended the week near unchanged, with the November contract closing at 1297.25 cents per bushel. The USDA reported 76% of the US soybean crop harvested by October 22, ahead of the five-year average.
Brazil planting was 43.2% complete by October 27.
Harvest pressure in the US and expectations of a record Brazilian crop are bearish, while strong Chinese imports and Argentine meal shortages support prices. Buyers should watch the balance between these forces.
