Cash premiums for soybeans shipped to export terminals near New Orleans fell relative to Chicago futures after prices jumped to a six-month high, eroding demand for immediate supplies. Corn premiums were unchanged, reported "Kazakh-Zerno" IA with reference to the "Bloomberg".
The spot-basis bid, or premium, for soybeans delivered in August dropped to 74 cents to 75 cents a bushel above August futures on the Chicago Board of Trade from 75 cents to 76 cents yesterday, U.S. Department of Agriculture data show. Corn premiums for delivery next month were unchanged at 32 cents to 37 cents above September futures, which reached a two-week high.
