- 0:42SPEAKER_00: I'm in Valparaiso, Indiana today.
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: We had a big day yesterday, and I wish I had 10 slides on this is why corn was up, this is why beans were up.
- 0:51SPEAKER_00: This is why wheat was up.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: This is why feeder cattle were up 10 months in the back.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: But we don't have a lot of news and information.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: Now we're trading in the same range we've always been trading.
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: So really, when you have a big move up and a big move down, and you're trading in the middle, it doesn't take much to move these markets around.
- 1:12SPEAKER_00: Crude oil is still inching up.
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: And as we look at things, we had a strong night last night that rolled over overnight.
- 1:19SPEAKER_00: But let me quote up the market real quick.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: I do want to thank our good friends at plus 500.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: That's where we get our quotes.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: I'm looking at my plus 500 T4 app here, quoting up the markets.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: It is 7:15 a.m.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: Central.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: D's corns down four.
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: Beans are down one.
- 1:35SPEAKER_00: No beans.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: Have a 13 handle.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: That should make you pretty happy.
- 1:40SPEAKER_00: Oats are up.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: Oats had a big day yesterday.
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: Oats really popped.
- 1:44SPEAKER_00: That was interesting to see.
- 1:45SPEAKER_00: Not many people trading oats in the world, but I still like to watch them.
- 1:48SPEAKER_00: Old pit trader stuff.
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: Swybe meals up this morning.

- 2:00SPEAKER_00: NASDAQ continues to rally day after day here.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: And even though crude oil is high and diesel's high, the Nasdaq stock market says hell with you all.
- 2:10SPEAKER_00: You know what else is high?
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: Interest rates.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: Interest rates continue to move up.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: That is going to be a problem, but the stock market doesn't care.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: Looking at the interest rates, this is a wild one, folks.
- 2:22SPEAKER_00: 10 years down, 11 ticks, bonds down 103.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: That means interest rates are approaching the highs again.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: Those are our quotes from plus 500.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: Moving on to the cattle, as we like to do.

- 2:56SPEAKER_00: Uh not a lot of news there.
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: What happened?
- 2:59SPEAKER_00: We opened up, started to go up, didn't stop going up, kept going up.
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you what, there's some perma bears out there, and they're gonna they're gonna write a little check today.
- 3:09SPEAKER_00: Because if you're gonna if you're gonna trade feeder cattle with as big of a contract as that is, every one lot costs a lot.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: That's a significant move in feeder cattle yesterday.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: Backbunts up big, cash markets hot.
- 3:20SPEAKER_00: I'm going to finish this call and I'm gonna join this call here in a little bit called Before the Bell.
- 3:28SPEAKER_00: And this is what how I learn about cattle.

- 4:59SPEAKER_00: I was surprised to see the grains up last night, and we'll see if they can get to up on the day.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: Moving along here, a few things I want to talk to you about.

- 5:44SPEAKER_00: Crazy thing about this is when we had our last report, no one was even close to the range.

- 5:52SPEAKER_00: But yes, Friday at 11 o'clock Central, we're going to have another report.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: What am I going to be watching?
- 5:57SPEAKER_00: The corn yield.
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: That's going to be very important.
- 6:00SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking that the American bean crop's in pretty good shape, but it's not just the size of the crop.
- 6:07SPEAKER_00: Who the heck has had a heck of a move, and I've seen some good numbers come out of markets like take a back look from a few days ago.
- 6:19SPEAKER_00: Look at sugar, cocoa, look at all these things that can come out of Brazil, and how just a currency move based on an election could really affect that.
- 6:27SPEAKER_00: Friday's going to be a fun one.
- 6:29SPEAKER_00: I hope you join us here and we'll do a video.
- 6:32SPEAKER_00: I think Jed and I are going to be on the show together Friday talking about what's it cost to do an option.
