Market Update - October 29, 2012

Posted on Oct 29, 2012
  The nation’s attention is on the historic storm (SANDY) that will hit the Northeast and be felt even in Kentucky. The economic disruption that will occur on the East Coast will hurt meat demand in the short-run.  Consequently, cattle and hog futures are trading moderately lower.

  The soy complex is suffering the larger losses of the day on long liquidation.  If last week’s lows are broken, another 30+ cents of downside is possible.
