Grain futures are mixed in overnight trade as September begins, with soybeans and wheat moving higher while corn is nearly steady.
Corn: December corn is trading at $5.37 1/2, down 1/2 cent in overnight trade. Corn is holding near Monday’s close after crop condition ratings slipped to end August.
Soybeans: November soybeans are at $12.98 1/2, up 10 1/2 cents. Beans are extending Monday’s strength after USDA reported lower crop condition ratings, while export demand and renewable-fuel policy remain in focus.
Chicago Wheat: December Chicago wheat is trading at $7.80 1/2, up 6 1/2 cents, rebounding after Monday’s pullback.
Kansas City HRW Wheat: December Kansas City hard red winter wheat is at $8.41 3/4, up 3 3/4 cents in overnight trade.
Livestock: CME livestock futures have not opened for Tuesday’s session. The latest available figures are Monday’s settlements: October live cattle at $212.675, October feeder cattle at $317.025 and October lean hogs at $83.675. Those are prior settlements, not current Tuesday trades.
Grain traders are watching crop conditions, export demand and the first trading day of September after a strong August run in several agricultural markets.
