The noncommercial selling that has dominated soybeans since Monday's report seemed to subside, though little buying interest was seen in the complex as a whole. Outside commodities found some renewed life with both gold and crude oil posting small gains. The U.S. dollar index was lower as the chatter regarding a September Federal Reserve rate increase came to an end.
