September corn ended the day down a penny at $4.04 per bushel.
November soybeans closed down 2¢ at $10.16½ per bushel.
September wheat contracts also ended the day lower. CBOT wheat was down 7¾¢ at $5.36¾ per bushel. KC wheat was down 5½¢ at $5.33¾. Minneapolis wheat was down 2½¢ at $6.25½.
“Traders continued to shore up positions and move to the sidelines until we get past next Monday’s expected volatility,” said Karl Setzer, partner at Consus Ag Consulting. Next Monday, USDA is expected to release the annual Acreage report as well as the June Grain Stocks report.
“History shows us it is not uncommon to see limit-sized price moves following the release of the June stocks and acreage reports,” Setzer said. “Next Monday is also first notice day on July contracts along with month and quarter end. Positioning ahead of all of these events has driven market action this week rather than current fundamentals.”
August livestock closed mixed. Live cattle ended the day up 23¢ at $209.20 per hundredweight (cwt). Feeder cattle closed up $1 at $303.30 per cwt. Lean hogs were down 98¢ at $110.25 per cwt.
