5 Minutes on the Markets – 05/19/25

I post these videos every trading day, shortly after 8 AM CT. Check back here tomorrow for another update!

Cattle Markets turned weaker Wednesday and Thursday of last week, but posted a neutral inside day on Friday. Lean Hogs may shoot to fill an overhead gap today. Grains starting the week on a firmer note, led by the Wheat complex on weather and potential yield concerns. Corn, Soybeans and Bean Oil are also higher with Soymeal a little lower. Moody’s became the 3rd major credit rating agency to knock back the US rating on Friday. That’s not friendly, but they’re a little late as S&P and Fitch have both downgraded the US credit in recent years.
