Soybean sales were within the range of trade estimates. The EU is definitely
still taking U.S. origin, with the major buyers being Spain, the Netherlands,
unknown, Mexico and South Korea. Meal sales were a shocker, 400% of the
4-week average, and 50-80,000 above estimates. Malaysia, Italy, Venezuela,
Australia and Philippines accounted for 129,000 tonnes. Corn sales were
slow as anticipated, to Asia, Spain and Mexico. Wheat sales were once again
above estimates, with major sales to the Philippines, Japan, Iraq (first
since '90), and Thailand. The new-crop sales went mostly to Israel.
