AgHost Livestock Close

The livestock complex was able to close higher Tuesday afternoon as traders rushed to the contracts’ aid following Monday’s weaker close. It’s anyone’s guess how traders will handle the complex on Wednesday as the lean hog complex is up against resistance, and the cattle complex still has the strike looming. May corn is down 1 1/2 cents per bushel and May soybean meal is up $1.00. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 34.29 points and the NASDAQ is up 1.15 points.
