Grains

OMAHA (DTN) -- Posted 13:08 -- December corn is down 13 1/2 cents per bushel, November soybeans are down 39 3/4 cents, September KC wheat is down 15 cents, September Chicago wheat is down 16 1/2 cents and MIAX September Minneapolis wheat is down 3/4 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 149.51 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.030 and September crude oil is down $6.96 per barrel. August gold is up $9.00 per ounce. Heading into the Monday close, grain and soy markets are down hard with crude oil off over $7 per barrel on easing tensions between Iran and the U.S.

Posted 08:35 -- September corn is down 12 1/4 cents and August soybeans are down 29 1/2 cents. September KC wheat is down 1/2 cents, September Chicago wheat is down 1 cents, and September MIAX Minneapolis wheat is down 4 cents. September crude oil is down $5.28 and Dow Jones futures are up 586 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.04 and August gold is up $8.80. Corn and soybeans remain lower by double digits on the open to the day session Monday, while wheat futures have climbed off overnight lows. A halt in fighting in the Middle East has prompted a wave of risk-off trading across most markets to begin the new week, with month-end profit-taking playing a part as well. USDA did report another 9.5 million bushels (mb) of new-crop soybean sales early Monday to China and unknown, as demand continues to run strong through July.

Posted 19:14 Sunday -- September corn is down 5 1/4 cents and August soybeans are down 8 cents. September KC wheat is up 1 1/2 cents, September Chicago wheat is down 1 1/4 cents, and September MIAX Minneapolis wheat is down 1 1/2 cents. September crude oil is down $4.59 and Dow Jones futures are up 323 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.23 and August gold is up $33.80. Row crop futures are moderately lower to begin the new week, bearishly influenced by a sharp drop in crude oil prices Sunday afternoon after the U.S. canceled a planned two-week series of attacks against Iran. The market's attention will now turn to the possibility of renewed negotiations after the June ceasefire dissolved earlier this month. Despite outside energy pressure, U.S. row crops are likely to maintain a level of support this week with little change to challenging weather for developing crops through most of July thus far and forecasts through early August calling for a continuation of above average temperatures and minimal rainfall especially in the west to northwest reaches of the U.S. Grain Belt.

Livestock

Posted 11:42 -- October live cattle are down $3.68 at $218.825, September feeder cattle are down $7.30 at $334.15, October lean hogs are down $1.55 at $87.475, December corn is down 13 1/2 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is down $11.80. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 205.59 points and the NASDAQ is down 37.03 points. The livestock complex is trading lower into Monday's noon hour as traders continue to keep either distance from the market following last week's slew of announcements. Showlists for the week are steady to somewhat higher as showlists are greater in Texas and Kansas, but steady in Nebraska.

Posted 08:34 -- October live cattle are down $5.00 at $217.5, September feeder cattle are down $8.95 at $332.5, October lean hogs are down $0.88 at $88.15, December corn is down 13 1/4 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is down $9.40. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 583.35 points and the NASDAQ is up 270.85 points. The cattle contracts are trading substantially lower at Monday's start as now is the first time that traders have been able to react to last Friday's announcement that the US is going to slowly reopen the border to Mexican cattle imports start in 30 days. It's likely that the market will happen a bid reaction now, and when the actual open happens.
