Many factors were playing into a weaker complex today including a lack of flash sales, weak Chinese economic data being released (makes the USD stronger), wetter weather, and the trade just profit taking overall.

Arlan Suderman retweeted some weather data from StoneX which highlighted that "Good rains are expected in some dry areas of the southwestern Corn Belt this week, with significant rains expected in dry areas of the South next week". Good rains (in a soybean making month) are not good for futures overall and makes it hard for corn or wheat to pull ahead either.

Massive soybean movement today with Sept futures moving 66 ½ cents and Nov futures moving 57 ¾.
