Soybeans were steady to firm, with most contracts closing towards the middle of the day’s wide range, but with November managing to notch a contract high. Mexico and unknown destinations bought 152,404 tons and 132,000 tons of 2020/21 U.S. beans, respectively, and while weekly sales were over 2 million tons, with more than half of that to China, the total was below average. Beans are watching planting conditions in South America and U.S. harvest weather.
