CBOT futures closed mostly higher and generally upper range. Corn led the market higher on higher Chinese domestic prices and talk of China looking to buy more corn for 2021. Positive news about a second COVID vaccine boosted the stock marCopyCtrl+Cket and commodities on ideas that the world economy will recover strongly in 2021. Soybean futures’ gains were limited by improving soil moisture conditions in areas of South America. Also supportive was the NOPA Soybean Crush for October at a record (for any calendar month) 185.2 million bushels, compared to expectations around 177 million.

Cattle futures closed mostly higher by small amounts as traders wait for cash markets to get going. Choice beef ended up .97 at 226.95 and Select jumped 2.89 to 212.35. No cash market is established. Last week’s prices were $108-110/cwt live and $172/cwt dressed.

Lean hog futures closed lower beyond the nearby December contract. December LH was supported by a strong pork market. FOB Plant Pork gained 1.01 to 81.15 with gains in all primals but the loin. Traders are cautious with rising COVID cases across the U.S. and news that China’s sow herd is up 32% year/year. Strong pork export sales to China is needed to maintain hog prices.
