CBOT futures closed mixed again today but the soy complex reversed yesterday’s strong move higher. Today’s profit-taking shouldn’t be surprising after a 50-cent rally in four trading days.  After Tuesday’s minor setback, cattle futures pushed higher again with the Live Cattle contracts trading to new highs for this September rally.

CBOT futures closed lower except for the soy complex. Corn and wheat futures were weighed on by disappointing weekly export sales reports this morning. Cattle futures closed higher with the October LC contract gapping higher; resistance comes in at 108.45, the August high.
