Jack Scoville, PRICE Futures Group vice-president, says Argentina had some billion dollar rains over the weekend with more on the way.
"That seems to be the big fundamental for the market right now. Specs are selling, farmers for me are quiet, my buy side is quiet too. I think specs will need to sell lots and lots of beans this week, but we will see," Scoville says.
The china imports are very strong, and noted that way but providing no support today, he says.
"The weather may be supporting wheat on winterkill ideas, but with beans 25 to 30 lower the support has been limited. Fund to be a bean bear today," he says.
