CBOT futures are trading mixed with minimal price changes at this time. Soybeans traded higher overnight before backing off. Corn and wheat futures popped this morning before setting back. Weather is mixed with some areas having flood damage and delays to planting or double-cropping – while other areas benefit long-term from added moisture. Traders will increasingly adjust positions for Monday morning’s Grain Stocks and Acreage reports.

Cattle futures are higher, especially in Feeder Cattle, but nearly a dollar off the day’s highs (also Contract Highs) which came early this morning. Unless boxed beef keeps rising, the upside in LC futures could be limited in the short run with the Hogs & Pigs report coming Friday. Choice beef is up 1.90 to 245.56/cwt today; Select is steady.

Lean Hog futures are lower with sharp losses in the deferred contracts. Traders are banking profits ahead of Friday’s Hogs & Pigs report that could cause a sharp price move if the data surprise. FOB Plant Pork is up 2.51 to 134.04/cwt this morning.
