The market traded in a very short range covering only 8,000 futures and 10,000 options. The export sales came out at just over 100k, decreasing 25% from the previous record. The shipment export sales showed the same with 256,000 sales.
According to the USDA report, as the mills in the US are reluctant to make new purchases and with China on holiday, the market will trade between 63/64 short term until the market tries to make a run at 62 or 65 which will give a better technical picture of the market.
