Market Closes - September 25, 2012

Posted on Sep 25, 2012
  CBOT closes are little changed from Monday’s.  Not much action in the outside markets while the CBOT was open. But energy and equities continued to trade lower the rest of the afternoon as concerns seemed to rise as protests erupted in Spain.  Money moved into Treasuries in the “risk off” trade.

  Harvest pressure will weigh prices down, but both December Corn and November Soybeans have chart support right below the current market prices.

  This Friday morning USDA will release its Quarterly Grain Stocks Report. There shouldn’t be any big surprises, but anything’s possible.

  Cattle futures fell sharply today with the December contract locking down the $3.00 limit.  Live Cattle futures trended lower throughout the day with selling leading to more selling as key technical price levels were violated. The next support is $122.15, then $119.50 at the triple-bottom. This contract peaked at $128.77 less than two weeks ago.

  Although the Pork Cutout value has been trending higher and cash hog prices have bumped higher, Lean Hog futures closed lower under pressure from the neighboring commodities. The $5-6 rally in LH futures this month may be need some sideways or lower trade before the rally can extend.
