US soybeans held firm after the November WASDE cut US and global 2026/27 ending stocks below expectations. CBoT January futures traded near 1,226 cents/bu, down about 0.4% from the prior settlement, while soybean oil stayed well above last week's levels.
Lower ending stocks tighten the soybean balance sheet, supporting crush margins and meal and oil prices. El Niño rains disrupting South American planting add a weather-risk premium that keeps prices supported.
