USDA June soy crush estimated at 184.584 million bushels, analysts say
CHICAGO, July 31 (Reuters) -The U.S. soybean crush likely slowed in June to 5.538 million short tons, or 184.584 million bushels, analysts surveyed by Reuters estimated ahead of a monthly U.S. Department of Agriculture report due on Thursday.
If the average of eight estimates is realized, it would be down 3.8% from the 192.0 million bushels crushed in May but up 5.8% from the June 2023 crush of 174.5 million bushels.
Crush estimates ranged from 183.5 million to 186.4 million bushels, with a median of 184.3 million bushels.
The USDA is scheduled to release its monthly fats and oils report at 2 p.m. CDT (1900 GMT) on Thursday, Aug. 1.
U.S. soyoil stocks as of June 30 were estimated at 2.081 billion pounds based on the average of estimates from five analysts.
The oil stocks estimate, if realized, would reflect a 4.8% drawdown from 2.187 billion pounds at the end of May and a 5.5% drop from June 30, 2023, oil stocks totaling 2.203 billion pounds.
Analysts' estimates ranged from 2.060 billion to 2.102 billion pounds, with a median of 2.075 billion pounds.
The National Oilseed Processors Association reported that its members, which account for about 95% of soybeans processed in the United States, crushed 175.599 million bushels in June, while end-of-month oil stocks fell to 1.622 billion pounds.
