Money flow seemed to be against the grain and cattle markets again on Wednesday as we saw pressure across the ag trade except for soybean oil and lean hogs.

He also gives some context to the continued surge in soybean oil and the post-holiday rally in the cattle complex that continued on Wednesday....

The cattle complex was down sharply on Thursday as it appears multiple factors (the lockout at Cargill in Fort Morgan, CO, upcoming Cattle on Feed Report, etc) had a hand in limit lower feeder cattle and big losses in live cattle.
