Market Talk

Markets drifted lower on Thursday with little fresh news in the trade. Lean hogs had a decent day after a strong weekly export sales report. Grains though were impacted by a higher dollar once again.

It was a mixed bag of trade on Wednesday as wheat and corn saw some support but largely traded wide ranges on the day. Soybeans were under pressure for much of the day. OPEC+ announced a two million barrel a day cut in production that sent crude higher while stocks and outside markets fell lower with the U.S. dollar moving higher again. Livestock trade was a bright spot with solid support seen there. Mike Zuzolo of Global Commodity Analytics joins us to discuss the trade. Learn more online at https://www.globalcommresearch.com.

OPEC+ announced a two million barrel a day cut in production and that is something to watch in the market trade. The dollar is moving back higher as well amid more economic pessimism back in the trade. Wheat is finding upside support though and pulling corn higher. We talk the markets and the StoneX October Customer Survey results with Mark Lucas of StoneX.

On Tuesday we saw more "risk-on" trade across stocks and energies which spilled into corn and soybeans again. Wheat caught the short end of spreads and we saw more pressure there along with KC and Minneapolis wheat. Livestock trade was mostly lower as well on the day.

We saw soybeans find some buying strength, possibly a bit of buying from traders after the big drop on Friday and some spread unwinding from the moves seen to end last week. Corn and wheat were relatively flat on the session in some of that spread trade with little fresh news to work off of. Stocks, energies and livestock all had solid days.
