Selling was prompted by a private firm’s 6-10 day forecase for more rain, but this prediction was discounted before the close and the trade reinvested in the National Weather Service’s 30-day forecast for above-normal temperatures. Bullish technical patterns fueled the upturn as well as spillover strength from the soybean pits.

May weakness was also linked to liquidation before last trading day. Generic certificates are stronger at 102-104.25%. ACRES SOYBEAN UPDATE: Soybean futures settled sharply higher again today, after making new contract highs from July forward in active volatile trading. Commercial selling, linked with the hedging of recent purchases of CCC beans drove futures to the day’s lows, however large buying orders from major funds sent the prices higher and prompted short covering.

ACRES HOG UPDATE: Live hog futures closed mostly higher today but off of daily highs fueled by light terminal receipts and light country movement. Advances had been powered by technical buying on speculation that the losses made m the last two days were overdone and of a temporary nature. Bellies were lower today, with the May closing limit down and July down 140 with losses fueled by followthrough selling prior to expiration of the spot option.
