• Junes NOPA soybean crush numbers came in slightly higher than expected at 164.7 million bu on Friday, down from May’s number but still higher than last June at 152.4 million bu 
• Talks about some potential U.S. wheat sales to Egypt are helping to support wheat this morning – however still no sales reported as of yet
