Market Update - January 28, 2013

Posted on Jan 28, 2013
CBOT futures are trading mixed. Corn and soybean futures are keying off improved rain prospects in Argentina that may be followed by drier conditions. Corn is closer to the day’s highs while soybeans have weakened and are closer to the lows. Just not much to move the markets in a big way.

Cattle futures are sharply higher following Friday’s USDA Cattle on Feed report showed fewer cattle on feed than expected. Lean Hog futures are probably getting some support from the cattle pit.

Interest rates are rising again today as the Durable Goods Orders report was better than expected. The FOMC is meeting this week and traders will watch for their statement Wednesday afternoon.
