Price moved higher through the remaining two days of trading and ended the 2014 market period on Wednesday at $9.07, unchanged from the previous Friday closing average. Eight markets were providing old crop quotes when trading ended for the marketing season.
High individual daily market quote of the shortened week was $9.22 at Helena on Wednesday. Low daily quote of the week occurred on Monday as Augusta reported a price of $8.63. The Wednesday reported closing prices to end the season ranged from an $8.81 low at Augusta to the high of $9.22 at Helena. The closing range of 41 cents was 13 cents narrower than the previous week.

Soybean prices have also rallied on better demand prospects, uncertainty of acres and yields, and short covering by commodity funds. New crop ending stocks are projected at 425 million bushels, down 50 million bushels from last month. However if acres are trimmed 1.0 million and the yield is cut 1.0 bushel to 45.0, ending stocks drop below 300 million bushels.
Technically, November soybean futures has resistance at $10.40 and support at $9.80. Just as in corn, market is in a sideways to lower trend for the next few weeks unless some bullish news enters the market. For soybean you need to sell at harvest making some sales may not be a bad idea or buy some put options to establish a price floor.
The November 2015 soybean futures contract closed up $0.58 per bushel on June 30, 2015 at $10.37 per bushel, the highest it has traded since November 2014. With basis levels in the state running from about $0.04 to as high as $0.50 over the November contract, cash prices are approaching the upper $10.00 to $11.00 per bushel range.
A lot of positive news came from the reports released on June 30, 2015. While soybean acreage was up from the Planting Intentions report and is nearly 1.5 million acres higher than 2014, the increase was not nearly as large as most in the market had anticipated...
