Soybean prices fell further by Rs 34.50 to Rs 3,527 per quintal in futures trading today as speculators indulged in offloading positions, triggered by a weak trend in the overseas markets.

Besides, a low demand in the spot market also dampened the trading sentiments.

At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange counter, soybean prices for February contracts moved down by Rs 34.50, or 0.97% to Rs 3,527 per quintal, having an open interest of 590 lots.
