Argentine soy market stays gridlocked due strike

BUENOS AIRES, May 13 (Reuters) - Argentine soy's closing prices and trends on Tuesday: * In the main grain port of Rosario, no grains were traded on Tuesday due to a strike by farmers. * Last week, farmers announced a freeze on grains sales for export until May 15 to protest a new system of export taxes. They are also manning roadside protests and staging occasional roadblocks. * Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures closed up on Tuesday, rallying after crude oil hit a record high and getting support from the Argentine farm strike. * On May 6, the last day that prices were listed in Rosario, soy changed hands for 910 pesos per tonne.
