Some people leave a lasting impact not just through what they do, but through how they make others feel.

China soybean chatter, fed policy, Iran deal | Arlan Suderman of Stone X is our guest. We kick things off with talk that China may buy more soybeans and what that country's commitments are and how skeptical we may be.
Then we dig into the Iran peace deal and what we know and don't know. Finally, we talk about the new Federal Reserve chair and why Kevin Warsh may fade into the background and what that means for markets.

Cattle Futures Rally on Stable Consumer Demand | Channel Final Bell with Ross Baldwin | Strong boxed beef prices have given traders confidence in consumer demand for beef, leading to a strong rally through today's close.

Lower crude oil prices have boosted equities, which has also helped to support cattle futures.

Cash trade is expected to be higher for the week, but will likely wait until after Thursday's Cattle on Feed report.

Ross Baldwin with John Stewart & Associates recaps today's trade.
