CBOT futures closed mixed with corn and soybeans continuing to be pressured by fund selling and a lack of export demand. Corn and beans closed near the day’s lows in light of news reports that US and China won’t reach a trade deal in 2019. Corn and bean charts look bearish. Corn isn’t too far above the contract lows set in September. Wheat futures are following their own story, although the fundamentals aren’t bullish.

Live cattle closed slightly higher through June 2020 and feeder cattle ended unchanged to slightly lower. Cattle futures have very little news to trade on as it waits for the cash market to fully develop. Sales today were $115-116, up slightly from last week’s price. Choice beef dropped .80 to 238.21 and Select fell .70 to 214.77.  The monthly Cattle on Feed report comes out Friday after the close.

Lean hog futures closed sharply lower due to Tuesday’s sharp drop in the pork cutout, huge production, lack of technical chart support and reports that the US/China Phase 1 deal won’t happen in 2019. FOB Plant Pork rose 1.91 to 86.58, recovering about half of the late-day losses posted Tuesday, thanks to a 11% gain in the ham value. Bellies fell over 2%, and ribs and picnics dropped 3%. The morning quote was up 2.93. Let’s hope for big pork export sales in tomorrow’s USDA report.
