Grain and livestock markets react to election results

(VAN) Kevin Duling with KD Investors says grains started off lower with soybeans seeing double digit gains on the possibility of increased tariffs and a trade war with China, then bounced off the lows.

Kevin Duling with KD Investors says he wasn’t surprised to see the lower trade in soybeans with the market fear of increased tariffs and a possibe trade war with China under the Trump Administration.

Trump has also threatened tariffs on Mexico is their president doesn’t help with the border and immigration crisis.

Duling says he is impressed at how well the grain market is handling the possible trade disruptions but thinks it may be because this could bring a huge flush of export business to the U.S. before January 20.

The stock market is also soaring, crude oil is lower and the dollar sharply higher in reaction to the election which isn’t all positive for the ag markets.

It may also be resulting in money flowing out of the ag markets, into the equity sector.

One exception is the cattle futures are rallying along with the stock market.

Duling says it will be interesting to see what all of these means for the Fed decision on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the market is also gearing up for the WASDE on Friday with trade estimates showing slightly lower yields, production and ending stocks.
