Corn closes at lowest price since August. Thursday, November 10, 2022

Soybeans ended the week down 30¢ to $14.22. Corn is down 11¢ to $6.53, the lowest it has been since August 25.

Nick Tsiolis, founder of Farmer’s Keeper, says it will be key to watch if corn falls below $6.50.

“If it holds above that, then it shows buyers are still willing to pay these prices,” he says. “If it falls below, that’s a big hit showing prices are really falling.”

Al Kluis with Kluis Commodity Advisors says prices are down upon news of improved weather in South America.

Tsiolis says news that a rail strike is being avoided is impacting prices as well.

CBOT wheat is down 4¢. KC wheat is down 7¢. Minneapolis wheat is down 7¢.

Live cattle are up $1.30. Lean hogs are down 40¢. Feeder cattle are up $1.95.

The S&P 500 is up 180 points. The Dow is up 1,061 points.
