CBOT futures closed mixed with corn rallying after an overnight move lower; corn managed to close the down-gap made yesterday. Markets have not seen any negative follow-through after Monday’s volatile trade related to the coronavirus spread. Corn was supported by the recent pickup in export sales. Soybean futures have closed lower for 6 straight trading days. Soybean harvest has started in Brazil of a forecast record large crop. Wheat traded higher Monday evening but couldn’t maintain the gains.

Cattle futures closed mostly lower, with LC ending near the day’s lows. Cattle have lost several dollars/cwt since middle of last week. Possibly related to the coronavirus, LC has seen considerable liquidation of the large long position held by the funds. Choice beef dropped .74 to 212.85 and Select gained 1.66 to 212.16.

Lean Hog futures closed higher on a corrective bounce from Monday’s sharp losses. Along with other markets and US equities, LH futures paused the panic button related to the coronavirus. Futures will remain dependent on the headlines. FOB Plant Pork slid 1.38 to 75.88 as values of ham, bellies and butts dropped 3-5 percent.
