The Livestock Markets were mixed today, with the Fats closing higher. April'26 Live Cattle were 17 ½ cents higher today and settled at 238.52 ½. Today's high was 239.95 and the 1-month high is 244.12 ½. Today's low was 237.52 ½ and the 1-month low is 228.52 ½. Since 2/5 April'26 Live Cattle are 2.87 ½ higher or more than 1%. The April'26 Feeders were lower today. The April'26 Feeder Cattle were 1.75 lower today and settled at 359.00. Today's high was 361.60 and the 1-month high is 369.60. Today's low was 357.35 and the 1-month low is 345.65. Since 2/5 April'26 Feeder Cattle are 1.55 lower or almost ½%. The Hogs got hit today. April'26 Lean Hogs were 1.40 lower today and settled at 95.67 ½. Today's high was 97.12 ½ and the 1-month high is 99.75. Today's low was 95.42 ½ and the 1-month low is 91.12 ½. Since 2/5 April'26 Lean Hogs are 2.72 ½ lower or almost 3%. I still like the Cattle Markets and the Fats and Feeders held in there today, while the Dow Jones Index was more than 1000 points lower when the Cattle Markets closed, and Crude Oil was more than $6.50 higher. The Cattle numbers are low, and that can't change tomorrow. The ridiculous threat of a strike at a plant in Colorado should not hold the markets hostage either. The threat of a strike helps the packers, so they might not be in a hurry to settle, but nobody wants to lose their job either, and I doubt they want to haul cattle 100's of miles as well. So, that should be resolved soon. The April'26 Fats are only 5.60 from the 1-month high of 244.12 ½, and the April'26 Feeders are just 10.60 from the 1-month high of 369.60. I feel the Cattle Markets can be much closer to the 1-month highs tomorrow, and once again, I am looking forward to the open tomorrow. Crude Oil settled a little lower from where it was when the Cattle Markets closed, and the Dow Jones Index gained about 250 points after the Cattle Markets closed.

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, with the Wheat making the biggest move higher. May'26 Soybeans were 9 ¾ cents higher today and settled at 1179 ¼. Today's high was 1181 and the 1-month and contract high is 1185. Today's low was 1166 ½ and the 1-month low is 1115 ¾. Since 2/5 May'26 Soybeans are 53 ¼ cents higher or more than 4%. May'26 Corn rallied almost a dime today. May'26 Corn was 9 ¾ higher today and settled at 453 ½. Today's high was 454 ½ and that is the new 1-month high as well. Today's low was 442 ½ and the 1-month low is 434. Since 2/5 May'26 Corn is 10 ½ cents higher or more than 2%. The Wheat Market had a nice gain today. May'26 Wheat was 15 ½ cents higher today and settled at 583 ¾. Today's high was 586 and the 1-month high is 603 ¾. Today's low was 568 and the 1-month low is 534 ¼. Since 2/5 May'26 Wheat is 39 ¾ cents higher or more than 7%. The Soybean Oil was on fire today, and followed the Crude Oil Market straight up, which pulled the Soybeans up almost 10 cents. The Crude Oil Market was more than $6.50 higher when the Grains closed at 1:20 and settled 6.35 higher on the day. The Grains were chasing the Crude Oil all day today, so if or when the Crude Oil breaks, I think we could see a dramatic pull back in the Grains, especially for the Soybeans and the Wheat markets. I sold most of the Soybean Oil today as it reached my target level of 65.00, and those trades were awesome. It can still trade higher from here, but if Crude Oil turns around, then the Bean Oil could go with it, and that could produce another buying opportunity. I like buying the July'26 Soybean 1100 Puts, and they settled at 12 5/8 today. I would be careful in the Wheat. The May'26 Wheat had a nice gain of 15 ¾ cents today, but it is still 7 ¾ cents lower for the week, and the downside looks possible to me. Give me a call if you have any questions. Have a great night.

Thank you to all of my Canadian Customers. If you live in Alberta or Ontario, you are able to open an account in the USA.
