***June/July 2013 delivery
Illinois grains ended lower with soybeans sharply lower. This was another week with little new
fundamental news to trade on. Soybeans had carryover weakness from the USDA's Supply
Demand report. Soybean futures were also weakened by sharply lower soybean meal futures and
technical and fund selling at the Board of Trade. Beneficial rainfall for the Plain states was good
for their soil conditions, but helped to push wheat futures lower.
The trading in the cash grain market was slow to moderate. With several processors and terminals
having a decent week of grain movement with futures prices moving sharply lower. The cash corn
basis stayed strong and moved higher throughout the week. The soybean basis remained steady
at the processors, but moved lower at the river terminals due to lower export demand. The Central
Illinois Soybean Processors cash bids were 69 cents lower ranging from 14.44-14.58, with basis
steady at +26H to +40H. The Central Illinois Corn Processors cash bids were down 11 to 14 cents
