Grains

OMAHA (DTN) -- Posted 12:43 -- December corn is up 3 cents per bushel, January soybeans are up 5 1/2 cents, December KC wheat is up 2 1/2 cents, December Chicago wheat is down 1/2 cent and MIAX December Minneapolis wheat is up 0.0250 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 397.86 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.010 and December crude oil is down $2.58 per barrel. December gold is up $98.10 per ounce. Heading into the Wednesday close, grain and soy markets, with the exception of bean oil, have moved into higher territory in extremely light volume trade, led once again by beans. Bean oil is correcting with the weakness in crude oil futures. The Dow Jones Index has surged to a new high.

Posted 10:30 -- December corn is up 1 1/2 cents per bushel, January soybeans are up 1/2 cent, December KC wheat is up 1 cent, December Chicago wheat is down 1/2 cent and MIAX December Minneapolis wheat is unchanged. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 314.24 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.040 and December crude oil is down $2.46 per barrel. December gold is up $77.50 per ounce. It is dull and quiet trade so far on Wednesday with corn, wheat and soybeans all mixed in low volume trade. There is little in the way of fresh news to drive markets as traders await Friday's first look at data in more than six weeks.

Posted 08:34 -- December corn is down 1/2 cent per bushel, January soybeans are down 2 cents, December KC wheat is down 4 cents, December Chicago wheat is down 5 1/2 cents and MIAX December Minneapolis wheat is down 0.0300 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 293.37 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.250 and December crude oil is down $1.64 per barrel. December gold is up $17.10 per ounce. Corn, wheat and soybeans are all a bit lower in quiet early trade Wednesday. Traders are awaiting the USDA production and November WASDE report following many weeks with little data to trade on. Expectations are for USDA to ratchet down both corn and soy yields and production.

Livestock

Posted 11:36 -- December live cattle are down $2.80 at $224.4, January feeder cattle are down $3.95 at $325.2, December lean hogs are down $1.18 at $81.175, December corn is up 2 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is up $2.50. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 363.67 points and NASDAQ is down 123.92 points. The livestock contracts are trading mostly lower into Wednesday's noon hour as traders need to see more fundamental reassurance before they'll push the contracts any higher. Asking prices are noted at $232-plus in the South but are still not established in the North.

Posted 08:33 -- December live cattle are down $0.13 at $227.075, January feeder cattle are down $0.75 at $328.4, December lean hogs are down $0.83 at $81.525, December corn is down 1/2 cent per bushel and December soybean meal is up $1.00. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 129.46 points and NASDAQ is up 82.89 points. The cattle complex is now off to a slightly weaker start as the market yearns to see more fundamental support following Monday's rich advancement. Still no cash cattle trade has developed, but asking prices are noted at $232 plus in the South.
