If you don't like the customer service or lack of personal attention you are receiving at your new and very large brokerage house, you have options, and you don't have to stay there. Account transfers are easy and so is opening a new account.

     The Livestock Markets were all higher today, the Feeders almost making new contract highs. October'25 Live Cattle were 3.00 higher today and settled at 227.10. Today's high was 228.32 ½ and the 1-month high is 230.42 ½. Today's low was 224.10 and the 1-month low is 210.07 ½. Since 7/3 October'25 Live Cattle are 16.20 higher or almost 8%. The September'25 Feeder Cattle were 5.10 higher today and settled at 339.55. Today's high was 341.00 and the 1-month and contract high are 341.05. Today's low was 334.15 and the 1-month low is 308.72 ½. Since 7/3 September'25 Feeder Cattle are 30.17 ½ higher or almost 10%. The Hogs traded higher today. October'25 Hogs were 1.90 higher today and settled at 92.80. Today's high was 93.00 and the 1-month high is 94.40. Today's low was 90.85 and the 1-month low is 86.02 ½. Since 7/3 October'25 Lean Hogs are 70 cents higher or almost 1%. The Cattle Markets did not disappoint today and the September'25 Feeders traded to within 5 cents of the contract high today. This is your second chance to get short at or near the contract high. The prices are ridiculous and ripe with opportunity to catch a break in the Cattle Markets. Nothing goes straight up forever, and these are good levels to catch a break. The Cattle Markets can have a 10% correction and then trade higher again, but a pullback is expected. I have Trades below that I structured today, with 10% pullback levels, along with many Put Spreads, so you can see the different values and pick what would work best for you. The contract high in October'25 Live Cattle is 230.42 ½ and 10% break would put the price at 207.38, with the 100-Day moving average at 207.89. The contract high in the September'25 Feeder Cattle is 341.05 and a 10% break would put the price at 306.94, with the 100-Day moving average at 303.05. The October'25 Hogs have a contract high of 97.05 and a 10% break from there would put the price at 87.34, with the 100-Day moving average at 87.08. There are trades in two different months for the Fats and three different months for the Feeders. All of the Put Spreads below show defined risk, potential gains, and are immune from a dreaded Margin Call. I am sure there are many of you out there that had horrific Margin Calls, and I am trying to find a way for you to recoup some of that lost capital, without exposing you to unlimited risk. There are a wide range of trades below, so please give me a call if you have any questions. Once again, if you buy Livestock, Hedge your Livestock. Have a great night.

To be successful, and able to manage risk, you need to be proactive now and secure your access to markets in real time. You can be both Prepared and Patient at the same time.

     The Grain Markets were all lower today, with the Corn and Wheat making a new contract low. The Beans were lower again today. November'25 Soybeans were 3 ¾ cents lower today and settled at 990 ¾. Today's high was 1002 ¼ and the 1-month high is 1043 ¼. Today's low was 989 ½ and the 1-month low is 986. Since 7/3 November'25 Soybeans are 58 ½ cents lower or almost 6%. The Corn Market sank lower again today. December'25 Corn was 5 cents lower today and settled at 402. Today's high was 406 ¾ and the 1-month high is 430 ¼. Today's low was 401 ½ and that is the new 1-month and contract low as well. Since 7/3 December'25 Corn is 35 cents lower or more than 8%. The Wheat Market dropped as well today. September'25 Wheat was 8 ½ cents lower today and settled at 508 ¼. Today's high was 517 ½ and the 1-month high is 557 ½. Today's low was 507 and that is the new 1-month and contract low. Since 7/3 September'25 Wheat is 48 ½ cents lower or almost 9%. The Grains are still pathetic and continue to slide lower on good weather, great yield estimates, and no trade deal with China. With the Corn and Wheat each making a new contract low today, it looks like only robust and defined trade deal purchases can help the Grain Markets. I still like the Grain Trades I put out last week, as they will work if there is a sharp drop or spike in the Corn, Beans, or Wheat, and if nothing happens and it is a slow grind for a while, then the Straddle Trades would work very well, as the option premium would decay. The Soybean Oil still has a good chance to rally for the next few months with a target in the low 60's. The Bean Oil Future Spreads have come in and look attractive again. The Dec'25/Jul'26 Soybean Oil Spread settled today 0.49 over and the Jan'26/Jul'26 Spread settled 0.63 over. These spreads could trade 3.00 over or more. All of these markets will continue to move and surprise people, and putting on a trade now, while the Grains are at or near contract lows, and the Cattle Markets are at or near contract highs, could prove to be lucrative with the right trade strategy, as long as you have defined risk. Give me a call if you have any questions. Have a great night. Natural Gas, Live Cattle, and Feeder Cattle Trades below.

Thank you to all of my Canadian Customers. If you live in Alberta or Ontario, you are able to open an account in the USA.

Your ability to open an account in the US is blocked by your Provincial Governments, not by the United States.
