The Livestock Markets were mixed today, with the Fats and Feeders again making new 1-month highs today. June'26 Live Cattle were 3.07 ½ higher today and settled at 243.27 ½. Today's high was 243.27 ½ and that is the new 1-month high as well. Today's low was 239.75 and the 1-month low is 224.22 ½. Since 2/27 June'26 Live Cattle are 14.12 ½ higher or more than 6%. The May'26 Feeders were more than 5-dollars higher today. The May'26 Feeder Cattle were 5.15 higher today and settled at 366.47 ½. Today's high was 368 and that is the new 1-month high as well. Today's low was 361.32 ½ and the 1-month low is 336.45. Since 2/27 May'26 Feeder Cattle are 19.27 ½ higher or more than 5 ½%. The Hogs gave some back today. June'26 Lean Hogs were 82 ½ cents lower today and settled at 105.05. Today's high was 106.77 ½ and the 1-month high is 111.50. Today's low was 104.82 ½ and the 1-month low is 102.95. Since 2/27 June'26 Lean Hogs are 4.50 lower or more than 4%. The Cattle Markets are on fire and continued to charge ahead today. The Fats and Feeders traded close to the gaps early today, but the Break in the Crude Oil Market pushed them both over the line, and it was off to the races. The June'26 Fats and the May'26 Feeders now have their eye on the Contract Highs, and today's strong technical action should help. Expectations of a strong cash make this week should also help keep a bid in the Cattle Markets, and I heard 238 traded already today. If the with Iran is close to over or is over soon, the Crude Oil should break substantially, and the Stock Markets should shoot higher, much more than they already have today. That should propel the Fats and Feeders into uncharted territory and who knows how high it can go. There is still opportunity in the Option Markets, call me.  (I recommend buying the July'26 Crude Oil 70.00 Puts. 

.

This is what I said last Thursday:

“The Cattle Markets continue to push ahead, despite strong headwinds coming from the Stock Markets and the Crude Oil Markets. Maybe, some think the war with Iran could be over soon, and are taking advantage of Cattle prices now, before the outside markets correct, which could catapult the Fats and Feeders over the 1-month highs. It is just a thought, but the Fats and Feeders had nice gains today, with the Crude Oil Market more than 4-dollars higher, and the Dow Jones Index more than 500 points lower. If the strike in Colorado ends, it would also be a big shot in the arm for the Cattle Markets. WOW, as I am typing this the Crude Oil Market just broke $4.50 in about 15 seconds, with the Dow jumping 250 points. The Dow is down 250 points still, but the Crude recovered and is now $2.50 higher on the day. Crazy markets, but that was a great example of how quickly the Crude Oil Market could break when the Oil starts flowing through the Strait again. I still recommend buying your Crude Oil Puts now while you still can, and Put Spreads make it a lot cheaper to get closer to the at the money strike. It is going to be a crazy year, full of opportunity. Give me a call if you are ready.”

Having a Trading or Hedging Account is essential for your business to be successful. Market volatility has increased across all commodities over the last 12 months, and I expect it to continue to increase over the next 12 months as well. Opening an account in the future, will not help you if you need access now. To be successful, you need to be able to manage risk in real time. If you are proactive now, you will have the ability to be reactive when you need to be. You can be Prepared and Patient at the same time. Call me or hit the direct link above.

The Grain Markets were all higher today. May'26 Soybeans were 11 ¼ cents higher today and settled at 1171. Today's high was 1177 ¾ and the 1-month and contract high is 1238 ¾. Today's low was 1156 and the 1-month low is 1145 ¼. Since 2/27 May'26 Soybeans are ¼ of a cent higher or fractionally higher. May'26 Corn was a little higher today. May'26 Corn was 2 cents higher today and settled at 457 ¾. Today's high was 462 and the 1-month high is 476. Today's low was 451 ¼ and the 1-month low is 440 ¼. Since 2/27 May'26 Corn is 9 ¼ cents higher or more than 2%. The Wheat Market was higher as well today. May'26 Wheat was 9 ¼ cents higher today and settled at 616 ¼. Today's high was 625 and the 1-month high is 641 ¾. Today's low was 605 ¼ and the 1-month low is 564 ½. Since 2/27 May'26 Wheat is 24 ¾ cents higher or more than 4%. The Planting Intentions Report was released today and rallied the Grain Markets, but they all closed well below the highs of the day. I like the downside from here in all of the Grains, except in the Soybean Oil. The Biofuel mandate numbers were released, and they were in line with expectations. Malaysia has said again that they plan on initiating the B50 Biofuel Mandate. They had postponed it earlier this year, but with the rise in Crude Oil prices, they have decided to start the program again later in the year. This could put a higher premium in the Palm Oil, Soybean Oil, and Canola Oil Markets. I have Futures Spreads and Option Spreads in all of the Grain Markets ready to go. I said this could be a special year, and so far, it has not disappointed. It is time to call me and open an account. Let me show you how I plan to trade all of Livestock and Grain Markets for the rest of the year using Options. Have a great night.
