Comments: Soybean futures collapsed last week under pressure from heavy fund long liquidation as old-crop demand dried up and favorable Midwest weather continued to point to a large new crop. Oversold conditions limited further selling in corn futures, but the market could not rebound in the face of soybean losses and favorable growing weather. Friday's USDA supply/demand report also confirmed ample U.S. corn stocks as USDA raised its 2009-10 carryout projection by more than 42% to 1.550 billion bushels. Wheat futures remained under pressure from winter wheat harvest and ample supplies as USDA raised its U.S. wheat carryout estimate by 9% to 706 million bushels. Live cattle futures retreated under pressure from weaker Plains cash markets, while lean hog futures found support from tight hog supplies and technical buying.
