Bulls and bears both love the soybean market, realizing it can have a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality. Now the question is which one will show up this week, the good bean or the bad one?
Certainly bulls had a few doubts on Friday, when futures surged to new highs for the year only to retreat on profit-taking, posting a bearing reversal lower for the day. Still, the selling wasn't the complete rout that usually accompanies a top, and futures were able to hold support at the old resistance line shattered last week.
For once, beans seemed to trade in a world of their own last week, ignoring day in and day out moves in stocks and crude oil. Indeed, beans were the headline, with both funds and end users rushing into buy, according to the latest CFTC data.
