At mid-morning, grain and soy markets are falling under heavy selling pressure, led by soybeans, bean oil and wheat. On soybeans, what appeared to be a bullish break out on Thursday has been negated as bean oil falls with the weaker crude oil market. Spot WTI crude has now backed off $5 per barrel from the overnight high.

USDA: Private exporters reported sales of 264,000 metric tons (10.4 mb) of corn for delivery to Mexico during the 2026/2027 marketing year. Grain and soy markets are under heavy pressure led by weakness in soybeans and bean oil as crude oil is correcting.

Livestock

Posted 11:36 -- October live cattle are up $1.90 at $219.725, October feeder cattle are up $5.18 at $332.725, October lean hogs are down $0.98 at $82.175, December corn is up 3/4 cent per bushel and December soybean meal is down $2.40. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 580.46 points and the NASDAQ is up 297.67 points. The fed cash cattle market has bids offered in all of the major feeding areas, but still no trade has developed as feedlot managers hold out for stronger prices. Trade is expected to cut loose at any moment now.

Posted 08:34 -- October live cattle are up $0.28 at $218.1, October feeder cattle are up $1.25 at $328.8, October lean hogs are down $0.15 at $83., December corn is down 5 3/4 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is down $2.10. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 578.49 points and the NASDAQ is up 222.61 points. The livestock complex is off to a mixed start as the cattle contracts continue to run higher, while the lean hog complex isn't as optimistic. No cash cattle trade has developed this week -- which means that it's going to be essential for packers to get aggressive ahead of the day's end.
