DTN Ag Host Midday Livestock

The livestock complex is trading mixed into Wednesday’s noon hour as the cattle contracts continue to struggle amid external pressures; but the lean hog contracts are trading higher. Some light cash cattle trade has developed in Nebraska — but not enough to say that any sort of a trend has been established for the week. July corn is down 6 1/4 cents per bushel and July soybean meal is down $3.40. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 439.58 points and NASDAQ is down 263.25 points.
