CBOT futures closed mostly lower but MGEX spring wheat gained a nickel. Corn and soybeans closed near the day’s lows as the market lacks any fundamentals to encourage buying.

Cattle futures closed lower as the fed cattle market has traded in the $119-120 area, down $3-5 from last week. The widening Choice/Select price spread indicates that feedlots are likely very current in their marketings. Choice carcasses up 0.11 at 210.24; Select carcasses down 2.78 at 187.83.  The upcoming Thanksgiving holiday doesn’t help with nearby beef demand.

Lean Hog futures also closed lower as cash hog prices weaken and hog supplies are plentiful. FOB Plant Pork lost .08 to 80.55.  December LH’s discount to the cash CME Index may limit nearby losses.
