CBOT futures closed sharply lower led by the soy complex. Futures were pressured by forecasted rains and bearish outside markets – crude oil down and US Dollar higher. Soybeans posted large losses despite strong new-crop soybean export sales. It was a general “risk off” day.

Cattle futures closed lower under pressure from the bearish outside markets, weak beef export sales and “risk off” trade. While boxed beef values moved to annual highs, it’s not doing much for cash cattle prices. Traders were also preparing for tomorrow’s Cattle on Feed Report. Choice beef gained 1.55 to 341.63 and Select jumped 6.61 to 316.41. Movement was very light at 75 loads. Negotiated cash trade has been light with $122 in the S.Plains and $126 in NE.

Lean hog futures closed lower with the nearby October LH down sharply. LH was pressured by disappointing pork export sales and the “risk off” trading. FOB Plant Pork closed up only .79 at 121.40 compared to the morning quote of 128.16. Ham value went from up 23.42 to down 10.37. Surprisingly, pork movement was a disappointing 283 loads.
