Wheat bulls, Chinese politics, and USDA formulas are all topics of discussion to start the week off on the Fontanelle Final Bell. Darrin Fessler, Lakefront Futures, looks at the wheat market at possible momentum and technical trading to the upside. Fessler notes that it’s unusual to see the Minneapolis wheat futures at a discount to Chicago wheat futures.

Following the weekend election results in Hong Kong Bejing may be feeling political pressure to get a Phase One Trade deal signed with the US.

Finally Fessler looks at how the USDA is currently formulating feed use in the US and if the latest cattle on feed report will have an impact on that formula.

Corn continues to see slop progress in harvest with over 3 billion bushels still out. Beans have been in a difficult spot, many still question the USDA reports. Hong Kong-is this causing a slow down in getting a trade agreement in place. South America supplies are running small. Cattle futures see a lower trade & ASF spread & the market effects.

WASDE report.  How valid were some of the results in Re-surveying North & South Dakota Harvest weather going into next week.  Open interest in the cattle-could we see some buying & is there in a top going in.  Planting progress in South America.

Lower corn & beans while soybeans were higher.  Lackluster trade, currency issues with Brazil.  Yield loss is visible in North Dakota.   Harvest progress…upcoming weather system.  Corn plan lacks direction.  Quiet cattle market after Friday’s cattle on feed report.
