"-November Soybeans finished down 12 3/4 at 1718 3/4, 41 3/4 off the high and 4 3/4 up from the low. January Soybeans closed down 13 at 1711 1/4.

Soybean meal and oil traded lower as well. The soybean market had a positive tone this morning after gapping higher overnight but technical sell pressure and unwinding of calendar spreads took over soon thereafter. Tropical Storm Isaac has entered the Gulf of Mexico and the storm could push as far north as Arkansas, Western Tennessee, Missouri, and Illinois. High winds and heavy rainfall could have a negative impact on maturing row crops but could aid Mississippi water levels in the short term. The 6-10 day forecast calls for a return of above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall for the central US. Spot soybean basis at various Iowa elevators fell today as farmer sales have picked up since last week. This added pressure to calendar spreads. Export inspections for the week ending August 27th were reported at 17.40 million bushels vs. 21.43 the week prior.
