GRAINS:
Grain information is quiet. Corn is 5% planted, most commonly in TX. Heavy rains are falling within the south delta area of the rustic. The 6 to 10-day presentations an unlimited heat up within the Corn Belt with above commonplace precipitation for the Belt. A excellent forecast for planting corn and soy in moisture. Palm oil edged upper. Soybean oil wishes to carry right here. Corn foundation is toning up, telling me to be expecting a rally at the board. Volatility has come down dramatically. Choices are affordable. I would possibly have a look at purchasing June corn calls to take in the course of the grain record and into the planting season. Keep tuned. Lengthy-term I’m bearish corn.
• Get ready to shop for some corn calls to carry into the planting season.
LEAN HOGS:
Open hobby in hogs surged upper, once more, up 6,696 automobiles. General OI stands at 314,700 contracts, considerably greater than LC open hobby (283,000). There was once energetic hedging job famous in places. June put open hobby was once up 1,302 with the 107 put expanding via 2,828. Hedgers had been rolling up the put strike costs. July places had been up 1,564 and Aug places surged via 1,598. Open hobby in Aug 80 places was once up 1,732. However the energetic hedging does now not imply costs are going decrease…they’re most likely now not going decrease, however upper. Money was once known as sharply decrease the previous day, and it was once down simplest .50. Money is named upper for as of late as packers are already on the lookout for hogs for subsequent week. The truth that one packer was once darkish the previous day for eclipse viewing is a complete funny story. A grasping packer would by no means do that until they didn’t have sufficient hogs coated as much as kill this week. The carcass is now above $100, and it must keep there (above $100) for a very long time. We exited all ultimate Apr 88 calls the previous day from 160 to 180. I like to recommend taking the 84 calls and 84/90 name spreads into expiration. For the ones retaining 90 calls, I like to recommend promoting out part of your place at 60.
• Go out part of all 90 calls at 60. (bought at 30)
LIVE CATTLE:
Budget proceed to go out are living livestock. Open hobby was once down 3,953 automobiles. The business continues to be petrified of the uncertainty surrounding the chicken flu scenario. Open hobby in Jun places was once up 3,902 with the 160 put expanding 816. Any individual is actively purchasing Jun 160 places with money at 184-189. Now that’s what I name scared. Chook flu hasn’t ever had a critical have an effect on on poultry call for and, IMO, it is going to NOT have a critical have an effect on on red meat call for. Pork costs surged upper the previous day with the selection cutout beneath $300 for simplest two days. It gained’t pass back off beneath $300, IMO. Feeders have turn into a on line casino. Open hobby was once up 130 automobiles on quantity of over 23k. The amount was once just about part of overall open hobby. What a funny story of a marketplace. Keep out of this marketplace is my recommendation. Money feeders had been sharply decrease at OK Town the previous day, down $8 to $12. My simplest different advice is to paintings purchase prevent orders in Dec LC above the marketplace to cause new lengthy positions on a restoration. Through the fourth quarter the on-feed stock can be a lot tighter than the present stock and the heavy weight drawback must be resolved.
• Believe running orders purchasing Dec LC at 18190 prevent.
• For a loose 30-day trial to the night time cattle twine ship an electronic mail request to: [email protected]
