   Soybean Complex Plunges on More Fund Liquidation

   Despite the oversold nature of the soybean futures market, soybeans continue
to freefall as funds unloaded longs, with new-crop November closing down for
the thirteenth consecutive day. Soybean meal and bean oil also crumbled as
funds sold heavily. Corn got an early boost from more China business, but
couldn't hold, while wheat was a mixed affair.
