"-August Soybeans finished down 16 at 1574 1/2, 50 1/2 off the high and 21 1/2 up from the low. November Soybeans closed down 15 at 1523 1/2. This was 18 1/4 up from the low and 51 1/2 off the high. August Soymeal closed down 5 at 463.3. This was 8.3 up from the low and 17.5 off the high. August Soybean Oil finished down 0.47 at 53.82, 1 off the high and 0.36 up from the low. November soybeans traded sharply higher following the release of the USDA report but slowly lost ground to trade lower into the close. Technical traders see the sweeping key reversal from a contract high as a negative technical development. Soybean meal and oil also traded sharply lower on the day. Soybeans saw spillover pressure from a sharply lower corn market after the report was considered supportive for soybeans. The USDA pegged US soybean ending stocks for the 2012/13 season at 130 million bushels as compared with 140 million last month. Yield was adjusted lower to 40.5 bushels/acre from 43.9 posted last month. This is a 4.18% stocks to usage ratio and the USDA had to cut demand by 150 million bushels (crush and export) from last month's estimates to make the numbers fit. This would be the lowest stocks/usage number since the 1964/65 season. World ending stocks for the 2012/13 season came in at 55.66 million tonnes compared with 58.5 million tonnes last month and 52.51 million this year. The longer term outlook for soybeans remains positive as traders are anticipating an increase in U.S. soybean demand in the coming year due to the lower crop production out of South America. The weather forecast is still questionable for the central Midwest with rain in the forecast for the southeast and drier conditions in the west. Temperatures in the west could reach 90 to 100 degrees adding further stress to soybeans."

Stock index and index futures continue its winning streak yesterday with more gains made, making both of these instrument rose to their record high. With so many uncertainties on regional economy and gloomy stock market outlook due to Greece debt crisis development and pessimistic earning seasons on U.S major companies, Malaysia equity market is likely rising on its own agenda. Traders have to stop looking out for some correlation out there as there is none of them to relate with our local stock market Bullish formation. It is far better to look at the "price" itself. Hence, by following technical analysis, traders can make better call rather than looking at some other fundamental factors. Market is still running on Bullish gear at the moment despite some Bearish divergence and overbought reading you can find on smaller time frame chart. According to most trend following practise, these traders would not budge and prefer to hold their positions until it is proven that the market is reversing its role. Else, they will just maintain their positions and view along the way. It was not a conspiracy or some Bear trap when the market finally break out from its previous high and continue to rally with new highs for the past week but rather it is a strong commitment sent by Buyers to kept on accumulating in the market. For most who think the uptrend should have come to rest or retrace, most of them will be surprise as there is no sign of weakness yet. For today, support is located around 1,628 while resistance is pegged around 1,644.
