Quick Take:  News from the G-20 summit over the weekend indicate that the “trade war” between the US and China has come to a 90-day truce.  This will almost certainly send the market higher on this evenings open, early calls are for beans to open anywhere from 20-40 cents higher.  Significant resistance this week comes in at 932 ¾, this represents resistance on July 31st.  Much of the move higher will likely be spurred by short covering over renewed optimism.

Quick Take:  Cash cattle came in from 118.00-118.50 Friday afternoon which was probably enough to give the market a boost on tomorrow morning’s open.  Now the market has something else to get excited about, and that is the positive news coming from the G-20 summit.   First resistance to start the week comes in from 121.75-122.25.  We will likely let the dust settle before taking any new positions.

Quick Take: We would not be surprised to see lean hog futures make new highs in the early hours of tomorrow’s trade.  Positive news from the G-20 will benefit every ag market in the near term, and lean hogs are not exempt.  The bulls want to achieve consecutive closes above 69.50 to encourage another big wave of buying.
