CBOT soybeans jump on short-covering, changes in U.S. presidential race
CHICAGO, July 22 (Reuters) -Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures jumped on Monday on a flurry of short covering, with prices rebounding from 2020 lows last week after U.S. President Joe Biden abandoned his reelection bid, traders said.
Soybean futures had plummeted in recent weeks, in part because as traders had been betting that former President Donald Trump would be elected to a second term in November and potentially roll out additional tariffs against top global soy buyer China, market analysts said.
A renewal of a Trump-era trade war with China could mean less demand for U.S. soy on the international market and weigh on U.S. prices, at a time when global stocks are hefty, traders said.
But on Monday, investors reevaluated the political landscape and soybeans rose on questions about Trump's election chances in November - as U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris received a flurry of political support and raised nearly $50 million in less than 24 hours after Biden's campaign exit, traders said.
Harris is expected to stick largely to Biden's foreign policy playbook on such issues as China and Ukraine.
CBOT August soybeans SQ24 settled up 20-1/2 cents at $11.17-3/4 per bushel and most-active November soybeans SX24 ended up 32-3/4 cents at $10.68-3/4 a bushel.
CBOT August soymeal SMQ24 ended up $6.80 at $343.60 per short ton, while December soymeal SMZ24 closed up $11.90 at $319.40 per short ton.
CBOT August soyoil BOQ24 rose 0.44 cent to finish at 47 cents per pound, while December soyoil BOZ24 settled up 0.88 cent at 44.85 cents per pound.
In U.S. Department of Agriculture's weekly crop progress report is expected to rate 68% of the nation's soybean crops in good-to-excellent condition in its weekly crop progress report, unchanged from the previous week, a Reuters poll of 13 analysts showed on Monday.
The USDA on Monday reported export inspections of U.S. soybeans in the latest week at 327,061 metric tons, toward the high end of trade expectations of 130,000 to 400,000 tons, according to trade analysts. USDA/I
