Grain and livestock prices closed mostly lower on Wednesday except wheat. Wheat continued to try to retain some war premium despite some fresh 20-year highs in the dollar index. Corn and soybeans hit price resistance on the charts and saw profit taking and hedge selling pressure. Cattle and hogs set back on profit taking. However, there was also some money flow buying and selling ahead of the Fed announcement, with the FOMC raising their benchmark rate the expected 75-basis points.
