CBOT soybeans tick down on crush data

CHICAGO, March 17 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures finished lower on Monday as disappointing crush numbers wiped out support provided by news of a new economic stimulus in top soybean importer China.

• CBOT May soybeans SK25 settled down 1/2 cent at $10.15-1/2 per bushel.

• CBOT May soymeal SMK25 ended down $1.60 to $304.30 per short ton.

• CBOT May soyoil BOK25 rose 0.51 cent to finish at 42.1 cents per pound.

• The National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) crush data came out below trade expectations, with U.S. soy processors crushing the smallest volume of soybeans in five months during February, according to data released on Monday.

• China's State Council on Sunday revealed what it called a "special action plan" to boost domestic consumption, featuring measures including increasing residents' income and establishing a childcare subsidy scheme.
