CBOT futures traded steady to mostly higher ahead of Friday’s USDA crop reports. Corn made strong gains on ideas that USDA will cut the U.S. corn yield and acreage, thus ending stocks, which may tighten further if China needs to buy much more corn than currently forecast by USDA. It’s reported that China’s domestic corn prices are at 5-year highs. The spec funds have apparently moved slightly to the long side of corn futures. Technically, corn futures closed above major chart resistance. Wheat also closed higher but low range. Strength is associated with importers being active in the market and dryness in the Ukraine and Russia. The U.S. Dollar was weak early this morning, but rallied strongly after 9:30 am. Soybean futures rallied early with corn but couldn’t hold the gains. Today’s negative action ended the November contract’s 12-day run of consecutively higher closes. USDA is expected to drop soybean production and increase demand, leading to 20/21 ending stocks of 465 million bushels, down from the 610 million forecast in the August WASDE. November soybeans have rallied over one dollar per bushel in the last 30 days.

Live cattle closed slightly higher while feeder futures made bigger gains. Early strength may have been in sympathy with lean hog’s limit-up move at the opening. But weaker beef values and this week’s softer cash live market weighed on futures. Choice beef fell 2.12 to 220.83 and Select slipped .19 to 207.32. Movement was heavy, similar to yesterday. Market is not well established today, but recent trades were $101/cwt live and $160-161 dressed. Formula purchases averaged 901 pounds and $168.05/cwt.

Lean hog futures closed sharply higher, with the first 3 contracts up the daily $3.00 limit (expands to $4.50 tomorrow). Futures were supported by news that ASF was found in a wild hog in Germany. South Korea has banned German pork imports; other countries may follow, leading to increased U.S. pork exports. For the first-half of 2020, 61% of German pork exports went to China.  FOB Plant Pork ended .73 higher at 80.86. Hams and loins were up 3%.
