5 Minutes on the Markets – 05/12/25

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

USDA close the Mexican border due to screwworm again. I would expect Live and Feeder Cattle to start the day sharply higher. Soybeans, Bean Oil and Corn up sharply following news of tariff negotiations. Bean Oil has gained the most overnight. Wheat markets not following along, with Chicago and KC contracts setting new contract lows last night. WASDE report due at 11 AM this morning, could make for an very interesting day in grain trade. Stock Indexes are sharply higher, as is the Crude complex. Gold, Silver down aggressively.
