Current Situation
• Market traders have no reference points
for today’s conditions
• Prepare for the worst
• My view – Downward pressure on prices
will continue until number of new COVID-
19 cases in U.S. begins to decrease
• My view – Grain and energy prices will
recover faster than livestock prices
