Data from the soybean futures chart points to front-month contracts climbing to $12. The soft commodities posted across-the-board declines, with cocoa futures leading on the downside experiencing a 12.46% price plunge. World sugar, Arabica coffee, cotton, and frozen concentrated orange juice futures declined. However, coffee, cocoa, and OJ prices remain elevated, given explosive price action over the past months. Cotton and sugar have lagged the sector, and prices remained under pressure in September. Here is what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has said about futures trading (and I agree 100%): Based on the soybean futures chart, spot month prices hold at $12.00 despite recent volatility. USDA crop progress reports continue to influence sentiment. Volume surges during intraday sessions point toward active speculative trading.
