The NCDEX Soyabean Jan futures surged up by 0.49% in the last trading to close at 3063 level till Monday closing.  
Tone remains positive in soybean due to the recent hike in import duty of edible oils and soybean. As stated in the notification the duty on soya bean has been increased to 45 per cent from 30 per cent. Since prices of all oilseeds had gone below the MSP and there was a sense of deep distress and despondency in the minds of farmers, this move by the government has been welcomed by oilseed industry. Soybean is sometimes imported, although at nominal quantity hence rise in import duty will be seen as beneficial in enabling farmers increasing their income.  December soybean is likely to trade with upward bias this week, and between 2975-3075 levels. Harvest season, subdued export demand for soymeal and estimations of sufficient amount of inventory lying with stockists had been capping the upside so far, but now there is parity in exporting Indian soymeal while harvestseason is coming to end hence not much downside expected now.

The NCDEX Guarseed Jan futures is surged up by 0.58% in the last trading to close at 3892 level till Monday closing.  
Fundamentals remained strong for Guar even as profit booking at the higher levels limited the uptrend towards end of the week. Rising export demand amidst concerns on production front from recent crop losses, due to excess rains in Rajasthan, just few months back continue supporting long term trend. Lowering inventories too are bullish factors. The new crop arrivals shall continue in mandis for few more weeks and that might cap the upside. But with prices turning significantly cheap and export demand prospects improving, smart upside rallies are expected in near term. Increased exports of guar gum during last year have been encouraging due to increasing rig count in the US. Long term view is bullish but arrivals of new crop will be a bearish factor this week.
