Market Update - May 6, 2013

Posted on May 6, 2013
Today’s price action is primarily due to forecasts for better planting conditions than traders expected going home Friday. Recent rains also improve the prospects for the crop once it emerges.

Cattle futures are higher in response to Friday’s record high beef cutout value. Futures had dropped Friday on a profit-taking sell-off.

Lean Hog futures are trading mixed. The deferred contracts are weighed by the falling CBOT which could promote more pork production down the road.
