FUTURES MARKET TRENDS
VSmStf GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK
ACRES CORN UPDATE: Corn
futures closed higher today with
March stuck by technical
resistance close to the $1.57 mark.
It touched once today, but closed at
$1.56. Genericic certificate bids
firmed up slightly today. Further
advances in corn were also pared
by lower Gulf values and light
follow through selling from
yesterday’s close.
PIK Generic certificates are
higher at 106 to 107-1/2%
ACRES SOYBEAN UPDATE:
Soybean futures closed higher
today fueled by the U.S./EEC
grain settlement reached earlier
today. Also spurring bean prices
up was short covering and local
buying. There is still light selling
interest as the unfavorable
weather kept sellers off the roads.
The excellent weather still con-
tinues in Brazil and Argentina

Today’s closings ranged from up 2
to 3 cents up. Barge basis is un
changed to up 1/2 cent for the first
half of March delivery.
ACRES WHEAT UPDATE:
Wheat futures closed slightly
higher today after a slow morning
of lifeless trading activity. USDA’s
export announcement Wednesday
helped to cut losses in the deferred
months and the agreement
reached this morning with the
EEC also gave prices a little boost.
Although the settlement was not
for full compensation, feelings
were that it was still a good
agreement.

Cattle futures closed mixed today
after a strong move up over the
last several trading sessions.
February closed well over the
$62.00 level. Cash cattle remain in
relatively tight supplies as packers
line up on the buy side. The
strength so far this week is at
tributed to the Cattle on Feed
report. There has been a lot of good
news pumped into the future trade
so expect a leveling out over the
next few trading sessions.
ACRES HOG UPDATE: Hog
futures closed slightly higher
today in active trading. The cash
market showed signs of $l.OO
weakness in early trading, packers
were reluctant to buy at higher
levels today. Expect the weekend
kill to be relatively small com
pared to the last two weeks.
