Soybean futures are poised for a smaller gain than corn this quarter as persistent rain floods Midwest fields and delays planting. Hedge funds cut their net-short soybean position by 39% in the week to June 18, while corn's net-bullish holdings reached a one-year high.
Planting delays and likely downward USDA acreage and yield revisions could tighten US soybean supplies and lift prices that have lagged corn, affecting soymeal costs for feed buyers.
