Grain market recap

In this morning’s daily grain report (sent out at 7:30am) we changed our bias to outright Bullish for wheat, which was trading near unchanged.  The fact that wheat was holding better than corn and beans started to signal exhaustion on the downside.  That coupled with the fact that Funds are holding their largest net short position in over 5-years leaves risk of a high velocity move to the upside once short covering starts. 

A headline that the Kremlin was attached overnight was the spark that ignited that short covering today.  For the day, July wheat futures were 30 ½ cents higher, settling at 639 ¾.  The July KC Contract finished the day 44 ¾ cents higher settling at 785.

Corn and soybeans were beneficiaries of the strength in wheat.  Corn was able to recover the early morning losses and then some, with the July contract settling 8 ½ cents higher to 588 ½.  The new crop December contract was 10 ¾ higher, settling at 530 ½.

July soybeans were 6 ¾ cents higher, settling at 1417-4, well off the early morning low of 1392 ¼.  The new crop November contract settled a nickel higher to 1272 ¼. 

 

On the livestock side

It was another down day in livestock markets.  June live cattle finished the day 1.25 lower, settling at 161.65.  August feeder cattle finished the session down 2.65, settling at 223.525.    June lean hogs settled at 88.00, that was 1.95 lower on the day.
