Another fairly quiet market day on Friday as we trade within our recent ranges, although we are coming off our lows a bit around midday led by soybeans and soybean meal. A decent bounce in the hog market as well on Friday. We discuss with Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist at StoneX for our Midday Commentary.

Thursday's market trade was quiet again for the most part. After starting higher, grains leaked lower amid GDP being up 0.6% in the third quarter and the U.S. Dollar moving higher in response.
