Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) soybean futures dropped on Tuesday on technical selling and spillover support from lower corn and wheat.
-CBOT May soybeans ended down 11-3/4 cents at $11.74 per bushel after touching the lowest level since March 8.
-Selling accelerated as the benchmark contract broke through technical chart support at its 20- and 50-day moving averages and a recent low posted last Thursday.
-CBOT May soymeal settled $5.10 lower at $328.30 per short ton, and May soyoil gained 0.36 cent to settle at 48.60 cents per pound.
-Stiff competition for U.S. export sales from Brazil and concerns about demand from top-importer China still hang over the market.
