Corn trade is 2 to 4 lower in limited overnight trade with pressure
coming from weakness in the soybean pit. Outside markets are fairly
neutral this morning with the dollar holding the losses from yesterday.
Basis has started to show signs of improvement with significant harvest
activity wrapping up. The ethanol production margins remain solid
while blenders are being squeezed by sliding unleaded gasoline values.
The weekly ethanol production report is expected to show production
down slightly and stocks up slightly. On the chart trade has slipped
below the 10-day and 20-day moving averages overnight, and a close
below the $3.71 area today will likely keep some short term pressure on
the market.

Soybean trade is 5 to 10 cents lower overnight with trade coming slightly
off the overnight lows. Meal is $1 to $2 lower, and oil is flat to 10 points
lower. The USDA also announced an additional sale of 106,607 metric
tons of soybeans to an unknown destination yesterday, adding to the
recent run of sales and supportive demand items. Processor and export
basis has shown signs of improvement with the strong nearby demand.
South American crop progress should improve in the near term, but
many areas are playing catch up at this point. On the chart Jan beans
have slipped below the 20-day at 10.27 with the 10.00 area being the
next major level of support that could be tested. Resistance is at the
$10.35 100-day, then the $10.86 high reached last week.

Wheat trade is 3 to 6 lower across the three exchanges overnight with
trade drifting lower with pressure from the softer row crop trade and
limited fresh demand news. The dollar broke sharply lower yesterday,
but recent weakness has not been sustained and the dollar remains near
the high end of the recent range. The Russian/Ukraine political situation
will continue to be watched. Cold weather is expected to linger across
the plains with a brief warm up this weekend. The 10-day moving
average is first support on the December KC contract at $5.89 which we
are challenging at overnight with resistance at $6.12, the high printed on
Friday.

Live cattle are called mixed with trade likely drifting a bit until a better
read on cash fat cattle trade can be ascertained. Feeder cattle are called 10
to 30 higher with support from the softer corn trade. The cutout was
firmer yesterday with choice up .02 at 254.29 and select up 1.23 at 241.26.
Showlists remain tight again this week, as asking prices starting in the
$174-175 area with no serious bids yet. The record type cold persistent
November temperatures to-date is viewed as friendly. There is limited
December chart resistance to note with support at $170 then the 10-day at
$168.10.

Lean hog trade is called 10 to 40 lower on follow through selling from the
liquidation seen yesterday. Ready hog availability looks good through the
middle of the week, which could undermine the board gains to start the
week if sustained. The fresh pork cutout slipped as ham trade broke lower
yesterday. The cold weather is bringing in more reports of PEDv, but they
do not seem as widespread as last year so far. Carcass weights should
moderate a bit with the cold temperatures in the near term. On the
December chart support is at the 10-day at $90.20 with resistance now at
the $92.50 200-day moving average. The board has priced in the recent
friendly items, so it may need additional news to keep pushing.
