Market Closes - November 6, 2014

Posted on Nov 6, 2014
A very strong nearby soybean meal market provided the fuel for today’s strong price movement which didn’t last into the closing bell. Disappointing export sales reported this morning weighed on corn futures and wheat more so. USDA reported that most southbound river barges are loaded with soybeans, not corn.

Livestock futures closed higher despite weakness in the beef and pork markets. Traders are anxious to see where the fed cattle market will trade. Choice carcasses down 0.72 at 250.52; Select down 0.87 at 237.25/cwt. FOB Plant Pork down .59 to 95.30/cwt; all primal cuts were down except for ham.

DOW and SP500 closed at RECORD HIGHS again, supported by positive U.S. economic reports and indications the ECB in Europe will adopt more monetary easing. Japan recently increased its easy money policy. The U.S. Federal Reserve has finished its tapering program that ended additional bond purchases; the Fed’s balance sheet is still massive. America’s relative economic strength is pushing the U.S. dollar higher which hurts U.S. exports. Also, Brazil’s currency has devalued 10 percent versus the US dollar in the past 2 months.
