Despite bearish outside markets (stronger US Dollar, weaker energy futures), corn and soybean futures closed just 1-3 cents up/down from Friday’s closes. In contrast, wheat futures, especially in Chicago, rallied strongly on aggressive short-covering by the funds who are net short wheat.  One reason they bought was the potential damage to the Argentinian wheat crop by heavy rain.

Cattle futures closed lower except for the Dec and Feb LC contracts, despite the stronger US Dollar and the sharp drop in US stock prices. Cattle were able to stabilize on short-covering following last Friday’s sharp drop. Choice beef edged .35 higher to 215.55 and Select rose 1.67 to 200.39.

Lean Hog futures posted moderate to strong gains today on news that African Swine Fever was found in part of China’s hog feed supply and a very strong pork product market at midday (FOB Plant up 2.00). However, FOB Plant Pork ended the day only up .56 at 70.83. December LH didn’t rally as much as other contracts because it didn’t drop last week like the 2019 contracts.
