After an endless barrage of headlines about the on-again, off-again trade talks with China, the futures market appears to be saying “enough already.” Rather than focus on headlines, traders are trying to hunker down and wait for USDA’s next production estimates due Friday. That crop report should set the state for markets into the end of the year because the government won’t update its crop assessment again until January.

Knorr discusses overnight market moves with Pam Jahnke, Wisconsin Farm Report, and you can listen using the audio tool below.
