7th March 09


Soybean - US$ 475-490 pmt fob Kandla / Mundra / Mumbai port

The prices for soybean were up this week compared to last one due to weaker rupee and on expectation of good demand for crushing to supply soybean meal in overseas market. But with the better climatic conditions in Argentina, the gains were limited and may show the drop in case the demand for soymeal remains slow even during this month. For feb 09 the demand for its meal had dropped considerably by 40% compared to its figure of corressponding period last year

and by 28% compared wih Jan 09 export volume. The market is expecting that with weaker rupee the demand for meal will be there but with slowdown in poultry sector of major importing nations, the requirement may not be that higher.

The futures trade has moved up by almost 0.5-1% this week from last week's close. The March futures were approx. trading at US$ 45.5 per 100kg, april contracts at 45.1, may at 44.9, june at 44.9 and july at 44.8. The open interest position for march contracts dropped by around 9000 as market participants switched to next month's contract so outstanding contracts for april increased by around 12500.

Argentine origin is at around US$ 345-350 pmt while Netherland produce is at approx. US$ 360-365 pmt fob.
