Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist with StoneX says the corn and soybean markets were trading higher yields coming into the report and saw a positive reaction as a result.
Kyle Bumsted of Allendale, Inc. says, “The way we rallied off our lows here on Friday and the bounce we saw here on Monday, it does feel like cattle put in some sort of intermediate low.”
Mike Minor of Professional Ag Marketing says corn and soybeans were positioning ahead of the November WASDE with fears of higher yield.
Joe Kooima with Kooima Kooima Varilek says its difficult to say because the fundamentals are still sluggish with the north seeing heavy weight cattle that have not been able to find a home.
Dave Chatterton with Strategic Farm Marketing says the markets needs a catalyst like South American weather or demand to find a bottom.
Scott Varilek with Kooima Kooima Varilek says the outside market news has been a factor in cattle but the main catalyst for the selling has been sharply lower cash trade which started breaking early in the week.
Bryan Doherty with Total Farm Marketing says speculative selling is a common theme in the commodity markets.
Chip Nellinger of Blue Reef Agri-Marketing says the soybean complex saw technical selling with funds still holding a sizable long in soybeans and meal.
