CBOT futures closed widely mixed with soybeans higher and most wheat contracts much lower. Wheat trade was highly volatile with highs made during the opening Monday evening and lows made late morning, followed by a late bounce. Many wheat contracts made new contract highs today. Nice gains in old-crop soybeans and meal supported other markets. Soybeans were supported by rising energy futures, more Chinese purchases and expectations tomorrow’s USDA WASDE report will decrease corn and soybean production estimates for South America. It’s a wildcard as to what USDA will do with export estimates for Russia and Ukraine.

Cattle futures closed higher except for nearby March Feeder Cattle. Today’s rally may have been follow-through profit-taking by the shorts as cash fundamentals were not supportive. Light negotiated cash trade was reported around $138/cwt, down $2.00 from last week. Choice beef dropped 2.27 to 252.44 and Select fell 5.28 to 244.94. Beef movement was very strong at 194 loads.

Lean hog futures closed strongly higher on support from higher cash hog prices and pork cutout values. FOB Plant Pork ended down 1.25 at 105.40 compared to 111.24 in the morning report. Ham value went from up 6 to down 7, ending at 80. Pork movement continued strong at 298 loads.
