Chicago soybean futures fell to multi-month lows after USDA reported September 1 soybean stocks of 256 million bushels, above the full range of trade estimates. The November contract settled 9.5 cents lower at $12.46.5 per bushel, and soymeal and soyoil also declined.
Harvest pressure in the Midwest added to the selling.
A surprise increase in old-crop stocks signals ample supply, which weighs on soybean and soymeal prices. Harvest pressure is likely to keep prices under pressure in the near term.
