Today’s CBOT price action is the result of this morning’s USDA Crop Report and WASDE update.  The reports are considered a bit bearish corn but friendly to soybean prices. With November Soybeans up sharply after trading lower earlier, the chart will look very positive (bullish key reversal) with a test of the all-time highs possible – it’s already half way there.

  Live Cattle futures are trading mixed.  The October contract is taking a breather after the recent $3.00/cwt rally in futures.  Cash cattle need to keep edging higher to support futures.  Feeders are higher on the lower corn price.

  Treasury yields are up sharply today even as traders believe the FOMC will announce quantitative easy tomorrow afternoon.  The German court approved Germany’s participation in the ECB’s bailout fund.  More money printing in Europe and the U.S. is supportive to commodity and equity values.
