Takeaways

• The Fed's decision to delay rate cuts is seen as a mistake, as economic numbers are accelerating to the downside, and the stock market is crashing. The market calls for immediate rate cuts, and an emergency meeting may be called in August.
• The corn crop is expected to be big, but the number of acres planted will affect carryout. Lowering old crop stocks, reducing harvested acres, and increasing demand may result in ending stocks of around 2.2 to 2.3 billion bushels.
• Due to significant changes in the economy and inflation rates, the market clearing price for commodities is not likely to be the same as it was before COVID-19. Today, it may be higher than between 2014 and 2020.
• The cattle market is experiencing liquidation due to the correlation between stocks and cattle prices. Concerns about beef demand and the high cost of beef compared to pork contribute to the movement in the cattle market.
• Flavor is an essential factor in the pork industry, and focusing on flavor rather than just efficiency may help increase pork cutout prices. People are willing to pay for what tastes good.

Sound Bites

• "The stock market is crashing and the stock market is going to call their bluff."
• "We're going to start to see this shift between cheap commodities, expensive stocks."
• "The futures market trades what they think the future is going to be today."
