Soybeans closed higher on the Chicago Stock Exchange due to a decline in the dollar and good export sales. The January 23 Soybean contract closed up 1.27% at $1454.50, and the May 23 quote closed up 1.17% at $1466.75. However, the increase was limited by Argentina's new program that attracts demand to the country. The USDA reported a soybean sale of 110,000 tons to an unknown country and recorded 2,022 MMT of soybean exports in the week ended 11/24. Indonesia has maintained its 8:1 ratio of palm oil for the domestic market and for exports.
