CBOT soybean futures fell for a third straight week in nearby contracts while deferred months firmed. Harvest of a record US crop is advancing quickly, farmers keep selling, and a sharp drop in the Brazilian real has pushed Brazilian farmers to accelerate sales, with fund liquidation and a stronger dollar also weighing.
Strong export demand and bargain buying limited losses, and Argentina's planting has begun with soil moisture ideal in most areas.
Heavy harvest selling and a weaker real add supply pressure on soybeans and soybean meal, keeping the meal basis weak for feed buyers. Crude oil weakness also reduces support for soybean oil.
