Harvest pressure and continued post-report selling weighed on corn and soybeans, even with another soybean sale to China. Wheat followed the grain complex lower. Feeder cattle found support from a stronger CME feeder index, while live cattle eased slightly and hogs slipped as the lean hog index continued lower.
Prices are final Barchart settlements for the Oct. 19 session.
