Markets end mixed Friday as corn hits chart resistance at the 50-day moving average and consolidates, despite higher wheat and soybeans.

Cattle again try to bounce early but rallies are hard to sustain as new HPAI headlines continue to circulate. Uncertainty has caused fund selling so the hope is the market can find the answers it needs to stablize. Plus, cash cattle news has been better than expected and the futures are at a discount so hopefully that will help. Hogs are consolidating after a fresh round of contract highs in June and deferred Wednesday on strong demand and higher cash with tighter than expected supplies. Grains

Grains stage a nice rally on Wednesday with fund short covering and corrective buying plus the pullback in the U.S. dollar index was also supportive. News that Russian authorities have halted grain exports on ships belonging to Aston, one of the biggest local grain trading houses, in an effort to expand a quality probe propped up prices.
