Market Talk

Grain and livestock markets are quiet to slightly higher as we work through the final session ahead of Christmas. The two main stories in the markets are South American weather and the rail issues on the U.S. and Mexico border. But are they really having an impact on the trade today with a quiet holiday mode settled in? We discuss with Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist at StoneX for our Midday Commentary.
