# CBOT soybeans end lower, led by declines in soy product futures

CHICAGO, April 7 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures ended lower on Tuesday, led by declines in soymeal and soyoil futures, but strength in crude oil (CLc1) underpinned the market as a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz threatened more escalation in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.

-   CBOT May soybeans (SK26) settled down 8-1⁄2 cents, or 0.7%, at $11.58-1⁄4 per bushel.
-   CBOT May soymeal (SMK26) ended down $4.80, or 1.5%, at $311.80 per short ton.
-   CBOT May soyoil (BOK26) settled down 0.23 cent, or 0.3%, at 69.72 cents per pound, turning lower after rising to a life-of-contract high of 70.49 cents.
-   Some analysts saw the inability of CBOT May soyoil (BOK26) to hold above 70 cents as a sign of strong chart resistance.
-   An aggressive U.S. soybean crushing pace has been generating ample supplies of soy products, including meal and oil.
-   Price moves were moderate as investors awaited Iran war developments.
-   Market players also await a monthly U.S. Department of Agriculture crop report on Thursday. Analysts surveyed by Reuters on average expected only slight changes to the government’s projections of U.S. and global soybean end-year inventories.
