US soya bids fall to 2-month low

11 Sep, 2015

Soyabean spot basis bids fell to the lowest levels in more than two months at a closely watched processor in Decatur, Illinois, on Tuesday, pressured by limited demand ahead of the autumn harvest, grain buyers said. Bids fell 5 cents per bushel to a premium of 30 cents per bushel above benchmark Chicago Board of Trade soyabean futures, the lowest since July 6.

Corn bids eased 3 cents along the Illinois River, in Morris, Illinois, with harvest of both soyabeans and corn expected to be in full swing by the end of the month.
