We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark;
the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. –Plato–

Investors and traders will be looking for market direction from votes in the U.S. Congress over the debt ceiling and the U.S Gov’t shut down. During this period normal data flows and trading volumes are diminished. In the absence of normal U.S government economic and commodity data, reports such as the APD payroll data from the private sector and comments from corporations will take on an even more important role for financial markets and domestic agricultural markets. The USDA stopped issuing market reports on October 1st and blocked access to online historic data. With scant data available, livestock price data is coming from livestock that move through traditional auction markets. Therefore on Monday Tyson is planning to start pricing hogs off of Urner-Barry meat price sheets. While private boxed beef prices, livestock and poultry slaughter estimates are also available. The same process is occurring in the grain markets. The bottom line is the private sector has a way of making things work in a free market. Meanwhile as Washington DC continues its soap opera, ‘political babble’ should be thick, constant and will likely reach ‘screech levels’ over the next week or two. Traders should stay nimble and tune in for Day Trades, BW flashes and Updates for all markets. Analysis for overseas equity and foreign exchange markets into year-end are available, for more information please call the office or email a request. Onto the Nitty Gritty….
