June 1st Quarterly Soybean Stocks – average guess 1.861 billion bu. vs. 1.219 billion year ago
June 1st Planted Soybean Acres – average guess 84.355 million acres vs. June WASDE estimate of 84.6 million vs. March estimate of 84.617 million vs. 89.196 million last year
Tomorrow will be a big day – 1st Notice Day for July Soybean deliveries (some are expected) – USDA Quarterly Stocks and Acreage (Stocks big, Acreage could go either way as I think soybean planters are still rolling) – Month End – Quarter End. We have seen some modest liquidation ahead of all this. The weather is conducive to plant development. Don’t forget about the G-20 Summit (who knows what will come out that?)
Producer cash selling is slight at best.
It’s a given that the old crop stocks are big. I don’t think anyone has a handle on soybean acres at this point in time.
