Tidbits
CBOT May beans gapped higher on the opening last evening, up 9¢ higher, but 15¢ below last week’s high. September soybean meal gapped higher at a new contract high of $442.50 and faded. The March, May, and July beanmeal contracts did not come close to making new highs. Such action indicates a “toppy” market. Strong bull markets are led higher by the front months.
