FUTURES MARKET TRENDS
GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK
ACRES CORN UPDATE: Com
futures closed lower today as
commercials and commmission
house selling continued to liquidate
along with renewed selling. The
main support surfaces at $1.53
basis the March. This could be
tested very soon due to a very
weak atmosphere in the overall
grain complex.
PK Generic values remain steady
at 106 to 107-1/2%.
ACRES SOYBEAN UPDATE:
Soybeans closed sharply lower
influenced by weaker currency
futures and weaker interior basis
levels. The South American crop is
moving close to harvest causing
the deferreds to become weaker
also. Light farmer selling of beans
overnight helped to stem losses.
Sell stops were triggered after
futures plunged through the daily
trading range.

ACRES WHEAT UPDATE:
Wheat futures closed lower after
an inactive trading day, with
future declines in the March basis
pared by technical support near
$2.85. Earlier losses this morning
were generated by commercial
and professional selling linked to
news that North Yemen passed on
its export bonus wheat to buy
Australian wheat. Losses in
nearby wheat were encouraged by
computer sell-stops near $2.88.
ACRES CATTLE UPDATE:
Cattle futures closed sharply lower
to limit down today due to the
negative Cattle Inventory report
out yesterday. Renewed buying
will probably surface in
tomorrow’s future markets. The
cash market remains firm with
good packer demand.

8.24
Estimated slaughter today was
123.000 to 126,000 compared to
125.000 yesterday.
ACRES HOG UPDATE: Cash
hogs opened $ .50 higher and
quickly turned to $1.50 higher as
packers noticed daily slaughters
tapering off. Daily slaughter level
is very important as seasonally
hogs are short this time of year.
Future markets were sharply
lower at midday, but buying
surfaced shortly before the closing
bell. Pork belly futures closed
slightly higher in the February
option as traders positioned for the
next rally up.
Estimated slaughter today was
285,000 compared to 298,000
yesterday.
