The Hightower Report said, “A steady start for beans this morning after a disappointing failure yesterday to extend the rally after breaking out briefly above recent highs. Bean oil hit new contract highs yesterday morning but both beans and oil reversed lower. This is a difficult time of year to extend an upside breakout in beans with ongoing planting in the U.S. and Brazil harvest winding down.” Austin Schroeder at Barchart.com said, “USDA will release their weekly Export Sales report on Thursday, with analysts looking for 200,000 to 600,000 mt of old crop beans in the week of 4/16. Sales for 2025/26 are seen in a range of 0-100,000 mt. Meal sales are expected to total 150,000 to 500,000 mt. Bean oil sales are estimated to be between net reductions of 10,000 mt to sales of 14,000 mt.”
