Soybean sales were a whopping 51.7 mbu., with a huge 25 million bushels sold to “unknown destinations.” Japan also took 6 million. Meal bookings, on the other hand, were 49% lower than the 4-week moving average. Soy oil business was almost invisible. Corn was about as expected, with Japan, South Korea, and Algeria the major buyers. Wheat sales were the worst in several weeks. The main buyers were Egypt, Iraq, Sri Lanka, Japan and Italy.
