“Shootin’ The Bull”

End of Day Market Recap

by Christopher Swift

4/16/2024

Live Cattle:

Today's livestock comment is taped:  Listen HERE.

Feeder Cattle:

​Hogs:

​Corn:  

Grains and oilseeds were lower and are expected to continue lower.  

Energy:

Energy has struggled all day to try to get plus, and although has a couple of times, is down a few cents at the close. I expect energy prices to continue higher. 

Bonds:

Bonds were lower again today. The selling is more than interesting due to equities not having done much and the US dollar inordinately strong.  Nonetheless, I continue to expect bonds to move higher, even though I remain wrong at the moment.
