CBOT futures closed mostly higher, but only soybeans and soybean oil closed strongly (near the day’s highs). The overnight rally failed in corn and wheat. The specs were reportedly sizable buyers in soybean futures as they are likely still covering their short positions. Wheat futures appear to be following corn, with US prices not competitive in world market.

Week ending June 16

U.S. corn planted = 92% compared to 100% for 5-year average.

U.S. soybean planted = 77% compared to 93% for 5-yr average.

Cattle futures closed higher in apparent short-covering after steady selling hit market last week. Cash trade and boxed beef are not supportive today. Choice fell .41 to 221.82 and Select slipped .25 to 202.51. One good sign is that carcass weights are coming down, so feedlots seem to be current.

Lean Hog futures closed higher on short-covering and bargain hunting following Friday’s sharp drop. Hog fundamentals remain negative as last week’s slaughter was 9.9% above a year ago and pork production was up 12.3% Y/Y. Average dressed weight of 214.0 pounds is 4.0 over year ago. YTD, hogs have averaged 215.0 pounds.  FOB Plant Pork dropped .24 to 82.97 with large moves in various primal cuts.
