The Futures Rundown 93: Consumable Futures Are Going Crazy

Coffee rallies, corn tumbles and cattle futures tell a different story from the prices consumers pay for beef. Mark Longo welcomes Kevin Green of Schwab Network to break down a volatile week across agricultural commodities, Treasury futures and energy markets. On this episode of The Futures Rundown: Coffee, cattle, dairy and grain futures lead a wild week in consumable commodities. Kevin examines the USDA report behind the selloff in corn. Beef imports and demand for American-raised cattle reshape the outlook for producers. Heavy Treasury futures activity puts the spotlight on rising yields and bond volatility. Widening credit spreads raise questions about a relatively calm equity market. Natural gas seasonality, LNG demand and winter weather shape Kevin's outlook. Crude oil, heating oil and refining constraints round out the energy discussion. Plus, Kevin shares how trading cattle futures helped inspire his growing family cattle operation.
