THE NEXT GAP IN THE CART TO BE FILLED IN THE FATS AND FEEDERS BELOW

.

.

     The Livestock Markets were very strong today and the Fats and Feeders are seeking to fill the next gap in the chart. February'26 Live Cattle were 2.42 ½ higher today and settled at 230.95. Today's high was 231.77 ½ and that is the new 1-month high as well. Today's low was 229.85 and the 1-month low is 204.32 ½. Since 11/11 February'26 Live Cattle are 4.55 higher or more than 2%. The January'26 Feeders opened on the low of the day and continued higher from there. The January'26 Feeder Cattle were 5.02 ½ higher today and settled at 343.50. Today's high was 345.25 and that is the new 1-month high as well. Today's low was 341.00 and the 1-month low is 299.52 ½. Since 11/11 January'26 Feeder Cattle are 14.25 higher or more than 4%. The Hogs settled just 40 cents off the highs today. February'26 Lean Hogs were 84.17 ½ higher today and settled at 84.17 ½. Today's high was 84.57 ½ and that is the new 1-month high as well. Today's low was 82.67 ½ and the 1-month low is 77.12 ½. Since 11/11 February'26 Lean Hogs are 95 cents lower or more than 1%. The Livestock Markets are moving higher, and I do not see it stopping any time soon. The Cattle Market filled a gap today, but there is another one just above today's levels, and then another one near the contract highs. In the January'25 Feeders the top of the next Gap is about 348.35, and I would not be surprised if we saw that happen and traded through tomorrow. The top of the next Gap is about 357.38, and the top of the Gap in the last one sits around 377.00. I feel the Hogs can continue to rally from here with most areas in Europe fighting African Swine Fever, as it continues to spread. The Fats, Feeders, and Hogs all made new 1-month highs today, and I feel we can continue to see that happen for a while. There are two charts below, and they show where the Gaps are in the Fats and the Feeders, along with a few trade examples. It's time to get your account open, so give me a call and I will answer any questions you have. Have a great night.

The need for a successful business to have a trading account is immeasurable. Look at the market movement in all markets over the last three months. Opening an account sometime in the future will not help you if you need access now. To be successful, and able to manage risk, you need to be proactive now and secure your access to markets in real time. You can be both Prepared and Patient at the same time. ***WATCH FOR TRADE DEAL NEWS***

     The Grain Markets were all higher today, but more Soybean purchases are necessary. January'26 Soybeans were 2 ¼ cents higher today and settled at 1093 ½. Today's high was 1096 and the 1-month and contract high are 1169 ½. Today's low was 1086 and the 1-month low is 1081 ½. Since 11/11 January'26 Soybeans are 33 ¾ cents lower or just short of 3%. March'26 Corn gained a couple cents today. March'26 Corn was 2 ¼ cents higher today and settled at 446 ½. Today's high was 448 and the 1-month high is 457. Today's low was 443 ½ and the 1-month low is 434 ½. Since 11/11 March'26 Corn is ½ a cent lower or fractionally lower. The Wheat closed 1 ¼ cents below the high today. March'26 Wheat was 4 cents higher today and settled at 533 ½. Today's high was 534 ¾ and the 1-month high is 563 ¼. Today's low was 529 ¼ and the 1-month low is 525 ¼. Since 11/11 March'26 Wheat is 18 ¼ cents lower or more than 3%. The Grains made some gains today, but without China making more Soybean purchases, I don't know how long the Beans can hold on. The low in the March'26 Corn today was 443 ½, and that was the low on Monday and Tuesday as well. Three days in a row, with the same low, could be a strong support level. Settling above the 200-Day moving average at 447 would be helpful and the March'26 Corn was just ½ cent shy today. The March'26 Wheat settled near the highs today, but I don't see any reason to rally right now, the world stocks this high. That said, it could decide to rally anyway. The Soybean Oil stocks are low, and currently there is only a 20-Day supply left. I feel this contract will turn around tomorrow and trade higher from here through the rest of the year and then take off next year. There are trades and charts below. If you have any questions for me, just give me a call. I recommend getting an account open before the end of the year as well. Have a great night.

REASONS WHY I AM STILL BULLISH SOYBEAN OIL. 

.

.

Here is why I like the Soybean Oil. The Palm Oil supply is getting tight, and export controls seem very possibly next year. The Indonesian Government must be worried about their supply, as they seized land in Palm Oil producing regions and placed them under State Owned Control. At the same time, the production and export supplies of Sunflower Oil are expected to decline, as the price continues to climb and make cheaper Soybean Oil more attractive.  Sunflower Oil supplies are already tight, as production estimates have decreased throughout Europe, Russia, and Ukraine, which will limit the amount of Sunflower seed crushing, again making the cheaper Soybean Oil more attractive. Biofuel percentages are set to increase in Brazil, Indonesia, and Malaysia, and I would not be surprised if the Biofuel blend rates were raised domestically as well. Argentia has already sold most of their Soybeans to China, so their crushing will be limited as well. It all points to what could be a very dramatic price increase in the Soybean Oil Market. I have continued to buy Soybean Oil Future Spreads and Options Spreads, with a new target level of 64.00-66.00. The market breaking the last two days was an unexpected opportunity, I took advantage of it, and will continue to do so, with Spreads in the Futures and Options. I have 3-month, 6–month, and 12-month strategies completed, and ready to go. Give me a call if you would like to know more.
