CHICAGO, Jan 13 (Reuters)- National Oilseed Processors Association monthly crush data to be released Wednesday morning should show a December U.S. soybean crush near 140.2 million bushels, analysts said Tuesday.
Trade estimates ranged from 138.5 million to 142 million bushels and compare with NOPA's November soy crush figure of 139.4 million.
Analysts were mixed in their views whether NOPA would report a decline or increase in soyoil stocks. Estimates ranged from up 30 million lbs to down 60 million from its November stocks figure of 2.042 billion lbs.
