Weather maps show a break from the record temperatures next week with a chance for better rainfall in the southeast and delta. A large percentage of the expected precipitation over the next two weeks will likely be light and overall coverage will have limited impact on soil moisture conditions. The precipitation in the southern U.S. and delta should help soybean crop conditions. Another private analyst revised their average soybean yield lower at 42 bushels/acre vs. their June estimate of 42.7 bushels/acre. August soybeans gained on the September and November options after the USDA reported that U.S. exporters sold 120,000 tonnes of soybeans to China for the 2011/12 marketing year.

Net soybean meal sales came in at 156,700 tonnes for 2011/12 marketing year and 21,100 tonnes for the 2012/13 marketing year for a total of 177,800 tonnes. Net soybean oil sales came in at 6,800 tonnes for the current marketing year and none for the 2012/13 marketing year, for a total of 6,800 tonnes.
