CBOT futures closed higher with corn taking the lead back from soybeans. With the rest of June looking wetter and cooler than normal, traders are more nervous about production potential this year. In corn, the July/Dec price spread narrowed 5 cents, a sign of end users wanting old-crop supplies. Cash corn basis improved as well in areas. Corn closed above the key price resistance points discussed yesterday.

Cattle futures lost ground again today, especially the feeder futures which were also weighed down by the big increase in corn futures. Slaughter numbers are up and export sales are disappointing. Choice beef slipped a nickel to 222.10 and Select dropped a sharp 2.02 to 204.71.

Lean Hog futures closed higher except for the July LH which lost a dollar/cwt, narrowing its premium to the nearby June LH. The disappointing pork export sales report and much uncertainty for the US/China trade deal are negative factors. FOB Plant Pork rose .50 to 83.01 with ribs up nearly 4%.
