Slight Losses Continue in the Grains, Feeders Limit Down

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for July 11, 2014.
Thursday was a down day for both grain and cattle markets. From the floor of the CME Group, Larry Shover shares his observations of Thursday’s markets.
Shover: “Wheat followed corn and soybeans down about 2 on the day. Perception of upward revisions coming out and that continues to be something that is hanging on to the market. U.S. temperatures right now seem to be good if not great for wheat right now. Thursday’s livestock session was very, very volatile indeed. Cattle in a very broad and volatile trading range down on the day trading near lows.”
