CBOT futures are steady to higher.  Corn futures have stabilized after dropping from the bearish Grain Stocks report on Monday.  Soybean futures are higher on strength in the soybean meal futures market with gains limited from bearish soybean oil trade. However, soybean futures are down about 40 cents from pre-Grain Stocks Report levels.

Wheat futures are a bright spot in the market with the KC and MGE moving to new highs for this move.  Export demand is supportive. There’s also support from Monday’s friendly wheat stocks report and indications that the funds are covering their short futures positions.

Cattle futures are little changed.  The partial U.S. government shutdown has stopped most PUBLIC cash market reporting for livestock and meat cuts.  Lean Hog futures are higher on ideas that pork values are stronger.
