Oilseeds
  • Soybeans prices were supported today ahead of Mondays report and as the threat of dry weather boosted buying demand for the oilseed. Rapeseed prices in Europe followed suit, bouncing of the recent selloff as tight rapeseed supplies continue to underpin the commodity so heavily relied on by the EU biodiesel industry.
