Market Talk

Grain markets seem to be drifting a bit into the upcoming weekend while the stock market is seeing more pressure. We also have a mixed day in the livestock complex. Arlan Suderman with StoneX joins us for our Friday midday commentary.

We saw the soy complex finish strong on Thursday with good strength in beans and bean oil especially while corn was quietly higher. March corn can't seem to get back above $5 on the board as we test some resistance overall in the corn market it seems. We discuss the trade action with Bryan Doherty from Total Farm Marketing.

Also, cattle futures were under pressure on Thursday as cash trade is also developing a few dollars lower this week. Cutouts have been struggling too and one has to wonder if we should be concerned overall? Or, are we just going through some choppy volatility?
