FUTURES MARKET TRENDS
GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK
Acres Corn Update: Com
futures closed closed fractionally higher
today with buying linked to strength in the
cash basis levels and a slight increase in
export volume near-term. Pressuring prices
were active loan redemptions as reported in
the latest USDA weekly loan report. May
closed up 1/2 cent at $2.01 after trading to a
high of $2.02 earlier m the session. Generic
certificate values are weaker with many
bids at face value.
Acres Soybean Update:
Soybean futures closed mostly higher from
1/2 to 3 cents in choppy trading. A late
wave of professional buying closed out
most new crop options near the daily highs.
The spot option closed 1-3/4 cents lower as
impending deliveries on first notice day
lend pressure. Opening prices were 4 to 6
cents lower on consolidation after yester
day’s rally. November closed 1-1/2 cents
higher at $7.03-1/2 after posting a low of
$6.97 earlier in the day.

Acres Wheat Update:
Wheal futures closed lower from 1 to 1-1/2
cents after trading several cents higher ear
lier in the session Pressure in the spot
month was exerted by mixed ideas on deliv
ery notices along with the lack of fresh
export news Rain in the key growing areas
added further pressure along with position
evening in front of first notice day Friday
Acres Cattle Update:
Cattle futures settled shatply higher this
afternoon with June posting a 117 point
gam at $7l 57. Buying throughout the ses
sion was attributed to strengthening cash
fundamentals and rumors that $75 00 had
been paid for Fed Steers in Western Kansas.
Aggressive packer demand continues
despite last Friday’s Cattle on Feed num
bers. Feeder cattle mirrored activity in the
live cattle pit with gains of 52 to 90 points

Acres Hog Update: Live
hog futures closed higher from 10 points in
the deferreds to 63 in the July option Front
month support came from strengthening
cash fundamentals and spillover strength
from the cattle pits. Ideas that cash pnces
tomorrow will be steady to higher added
further fuel to pnces Gams were limited,
however, by the futures premium to cash
and by larger than anticipated interior
movement Tuesday
ACRES NEXT DAY OUTLOOK, cash -
steady to higher futures - steady to higher.
