CBOT futures closed lower and at/near the day’s lows. Futures were stronger overnight and in some cases soon after the 8:30 am opening. However, without any daily export sales announcements, profit-taking took prices lower into the close. Corn, soybean meal and some soybean contracts made new contract highs today before settling lower. Some rainfall in South America and the snow/ice/rain in the Plains took some support away.

Cattle futures closed higher today despite weakness in beef values and no cash market activity. Choice beef dropped 1.13 to 206.70 and Select rose .18 to 188.67. Load count was the highest since Oct 21. Negotiated trade remains inactive. Formula purchases averaged 912 pounds and $171.74/cwt.

Lean hog futures closed slightly higher except for the December LH’s 10-cent loss. LH closed well below the day’s highs which were established soon after the opening. Compared to the morning quote of 94.89, FOB Plant Pork closed sharply lower at 88.83, down 3.03. Ham value fell 10.86 to 80.41.
