CBOT futures closed widely mixed but generally far below the day’s highs which came mostly on Sunday evening when the focus was on the weather. However, an OPEC+ deal over the weekend and growing concerns about COVID caused major losses in the crude oil markets which weighed especially on soybean oil and the soy complex. Technically, today’s price action was bearish with “outside down” days. The weather concerns managed to keep corn from posting losses. Wheat closed higher, supported by the anticipated drop in the conditions and yield of U.S. spring wheat. MGE wheat reached new highs not seen since 2012 before falling back to small gains. 63% of spring wheat is in poor/very poor condition.

This afternoon’s NOAA outlook for temperature and rain for the next 6-14 days is really bad for crops already under stress in the Corn Belt and Plains states. See maps HERE.

Live cattle closed narrowly mixed while feeder futures finished higher thanks to weakness in CBOT futures. Cattle came under early pressure from the sharp downdraft in energy futures and the stock market indexes. Fortunately, cattle futures regained its footing and climbed well of the morning lows. Choice beef dropped 1.45 to 266.49 and Select fell 2.30 to 249.49. Since last Monday, Choice is down $8.51 and Select is down $9.28. Beef movement was a low 125 loads, similar to last Monday’s load count. USDA didn’t report any negotiated cash prices today. Last week live prices ranged from $120 in the south and $125 in NE & Corn Belt, where carcass prices ranged $196-202/cwt.

Lean hog futures closed lower on profit-taking amid the risk-off trade caused by energy futures and the stock market. Losses were limited by a strong pork market in the morning. FOB Plant Pork jumped 1.91 to 121.85 from strength in values of the loin, rib and belly.
