Grain, livestock, and energy markets traded near key levels Thursday as futures markets struggled to find clear direction late in the session. Corn, soybeans, and wheat hovered near recent ranges, while cattle markets remained supported by tight supplies and slow herd rebuilding. Crude oil also traded near steady levels as traders weighed broader energy and inflation signals.

With official CME settlements delayed again, today’s episode uses late-session trade levels to walk through what the markets were doing, why they stalled where they did, and what matters heading into the next session. We also dig into Plains weather concerns for winter wheat, uneven South American conditions impacting soybeans, and the bigger ag and macro stories shaping market sentiment.
