DTN Closing Livestock Comment 10/22 16:11 Uncertainty Pushes the Livestock Market Lower Thursday kept with the week's lower-trending mindset and left all three livestock markets to close lower. ShayLe Stewart DTN Livestock Analyst It's been a painful week for the livestock contracts as the market dips lower from a lack of technical support.

December corn is up 2 1/2 cents per bushel and December soybean meal is up $3.60. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 152.84 points and NASDAQ is up 21.31 points.
