"We're not close to that yet, that comes in the fourth quarter of 2013 or the first quarter of 2014, that's when you can expect the Fed possibly to begin to taper," he added.

Early support for the July contract was linked to the supportive NOPA crush report from yesterday. Cash bids in the interior processing markets are beginning to ratchet higher as processors attempt to stem supply to meet sales commitments. The USDA reported this morning that US private exporters sold 240,000 tonnes of soybeans for the 2013/14 marketing year. A well-known oilseed analyst estimated today that the US will import around 250,000 tonnes of soybeans in June and July of this year. This would be a new record if achieved. Logistical issues in South America continue to keep a supportive undertone to the market but more exports into the US are expected from Paraguay as well as Brazil. Some even suspect that meal may be imported from Argentina later this summer."
