Livestock
Posted 11:38 -- December live cattle are down $1.58 at $221.775, October feeder cattle are down $1.50 at $332.35, October lean hogs are down $0.05 at $79.025, December corn is down 5 3/4 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is down $1.50. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 43.52 points and the NASDAQ is up 182.61 points. Bids of $345 to $348 are currently being offered in Nebraska, but no cattle have traded yet. And with feedlot managers desiring to see the market trade higher again this week, it's likely that trade will be delayed until Thursday, or even more likely on Friday.
Posted 08:40 -- December live cattle are down $1.80 at $223.35, October feeder cattle are down $4.00 at $333.85, October lean hogs are down $0.53 at $79.075, December corn is down 1/2 cent per bushel and December soybean meal is up $2.20. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 328.09 points and the NASDAQ is down 204.84 points. The livestock complex continues to trade lower as traders need more fundamental support before they'll comfortably advance the contracts again. Still no cash cattle trade has developed.
