The USDA's soybean ending stocks forecast stands at 425 million bushels, with little change expected in the upcoming WASDE report. January soybean crush set a monthly record of 188.78 million bushels, and higher Argentine export taxes have bolstered crush expectations, while coronavirus may limit meat demand later in 2020.
Strong crush supports soymeal supply and demand, but expected weakness in meat demand from the virus could cap upside in soybean meal prices later in the year.
