Back to EpisodesAG Squawk AM 10/16/2026 with Jed Sidwell | Trump's Plan for Iran
Description
We run through a fast market morning that mixes stronger livestock trade with weaker grain action, then tie it to harvest weather and what it could mean for near-term volatility. We also flag a lighter-than-expected NOPA soybean crush, a cooler turn in retail ground beef prices, and the day’s key reports to watch.
• Live cattle, feeder cattle, and lean hogs rebounding after recent pressure
• Corn, soybeans, and Chicago wheat quotes after a rough overnight move
• Dry forecast supporting a strong Midwest harvest window alongside frost and freeze alerts
• Southwestern Oklahoma heavy rain and flooding concerns after extended dryness
• NOPA soybean crush at 196.3 million bushels, below the trade estimate
• September retail beef prices near $9.47 per pound and what that suggests about demand
• Trump comments on Iran and how headlines can add risk to markets
• Export sales and Commitment of Traders timing on the economic calendar
