CBOT futures are trading mixed today. Soybean futures are trading down on fund liquidation as South American weather looks a bit better.  Last week’s CFTC report shows funds reducing their commodity positions.

  December Corn has support at $7.32 and January Soybeans at $14.84, the October low.

  Wheat futures are the best CBOT performer as concerns linger about global supplies if weather doesn’t improve.  Watch this afternoon’s U.S. wheat condition report; last week showed a disappointing 40% in the good to excellent category.

  Traders will be positioning for Friday’s crop production report and the WASDE updates.

  Cattle and hog futures are slightly lower on a lack of friendly demand news.  The power outages in the Northeast continue to hurt demand.
