The NOPA June crush report was released on July 15, 2019, and came in lower than trade expectations. Analysts from Zaner Ag Hedge said the figures gave the market no support, and corn and soybean markets had just seen a profit-taking Monday.
A weaker-than-expected crush signals softer soybean meal demand, which tends to pressure meal prices and weigh on soybean futures.
After 399 past bearish report events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -2.4% to +1.2%), and -1.0% over 20.
