CBOT futures closed mostly steady to sharply lower (wheat, oats, rice). Futures opened higher Monday evening and held those gains until this morning when selling appeared. Corn had been supported by the 4-point drop in its good/excellent rating. However, losses in Chicago/KC wheat weighed on corn futures. Chicago Wheat made new lows not seen since last September. Soybeans also closed poorly given a lack of fresh export sales to China. Weather forecasts will increasingly matter.

Cattle futures closed higher in narrow ranges with feeders posting the biggest gains. Cattle were supported by Monday’s strong finish and a very strong stock market based on better than expected retail sales for May and optimism on COVID treatment. Slaughter is mostly back to normal. Choice beef dropped .72 to 227.89 and Select fell 1.18 to 213.17.

Lean hog futures closed sharply lower and near the day’s lows. Today’s closes in the July and August LH were new contract low closes, but not contract lows. LH was pressured by Monday’s sharp drop in the cutout and more weakness in cash hog prices. Pork rebounded this afternoon. FOB Plant Pork slid 1.19 to 64.27 with bellies down 9% while hams rose nearly 3% and picnics rose over 4%.
