The corn market continues to consolidate. There hasn’t been much strength since the limit higher move, but the corn hasn’t given up the gains either. Export sales were poor again, but much better than last week at 326,900 MT. The thing that the bulls are still missing is better demand numbers. On the charts a move to $7.70 in the December corn would indicate a new leg higher is starting. I am still sticking with the $7.85 short term objective.

The wheat market is holding at the bottom of the trading range. Traders are still waiting for either strength in the corn and beans or for a surge in export sales. The exports didn’t happen again this week and sales came in at only 307,000 MT, which isn’t enough to meet the current estimate for the year. On the charts, however, it looks like the December KW should be back at $9.25 soon.

Soybean export sales were a ridiculously large 1.3 MMT, proving once again that lower prices equal more demand. If the very bearish traders are right and USDA increases yield by 4 bu/ac then maybe the sales pace won’t be a big deal and we will have plenty of beans. If yields are only increased a little bit then sales like this mean we will see $20 beans at some point.

Live Cattle
Trend
Short Term: Down
Long Term: Down
Opening Calls: 20-40 Lower

Live cattle futures closed mixed to lower on Wednesday, reversing early strength to close 70-80 off session highs. Cutouts were higher, creating more manageable margins for packers. This week’s cash trade should begin to take shape today. Overnight weakness is expected to keep bids below last week’s trade. Outside influences look positive this morning, with the Dollar weaker and equities rising. We expect cash trade to come in steady for the week.

Feeder Cattle
Trends
Short Term: Down
Long Term: Up
Opening Call: 40-60Lower

Feeder cattle futures closed moderately higher in all but the October contract on Wednesday. Overnight trade has weakened significantly, due to developing strength in the corn market. Technical indicators are softer, which should provide active sellers on any rally attempt. Grain trade should be the trigger for feeder trade over the coming weeks.
