DTN Ag Host Midday Livestock

All in all, the livestock contracts are trading higher into Tuesday’s noon hour as cattle are supported by the USDA report Monday that corn prices are expected to remain affordable in 2026 and by the increased demand for beef. Meanwhile the lean hog complex is trading higher as it’s simply no longer up against immediate resistance pressure. March corn is up 1/4 cent per bushel and March soybean meal is down $5.90. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 307.04 points and NASDAQ is up 15.89 points.
