This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Wednesday, February 21st. Soybeans make an upward move in the market Tuesday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Todd Horwitz ...

HORWITZ ... "They finally broke out from that tight rein. They broke away from the 9-85 level and, of course, we were looking for a big move one way or the other. We did get the move to the upside which is no surprise. That 9-85 level was really a key to the whole situation and now that we've broken out, I think what we've seen here is probably, too far too fast. We've now exploded, being up today quite a bit as well. So, now that we're pushing up to these upper levels here, now you want to look for either some profit-taking to come in, some hedging to come in, but look for a reason to see them come lower. Again, what really happened here is the commercials were over-short these markets. And of course we did see, what I would say, is a short-covering, dead-cat-bounce-rally."
