CBOT futures were mostly steady except for strong gains in wheat futures. Outside markets, including higher crude oil, were positive today with the US Dollar weakening as Treasury Yields fell sharply after the FOMC suggested it didn’t expect any interest rate increase in 2019. Lean Hog futures closed up the daily trading limit of $3.00/cwt (the limit is $4.50 tomorrow).

CBOT futures were mostly lower today, weighed down by poor export inspections for last week and a Chinese newspaper saying Trump/Xi won’t meet before June. Cattle futures closed mostly higher with small gains. The April Live Cattle contract dropped .77 to 128.32 on pressure from Friday’s $127/cwt cash trade. LH posted big gains today as traders turn more bullish on Chinese pork demand because China’s ASF outbreak is still not under control.

CBOT futures closed mixed with gains probably attributable to short-covering by the very short spec funds. Cattle futures closed higher with better gains in the LC market. Lean Hog futures closed sharply higher, supported by stronger cash hog and pork values, as well as this morning’s very large pork export sales estimate.
