Cattle futures on the CME rebounded on Wednesday from June lows after a sharp Monday sell-off that followed a USDA report showing larger-than-expected cattle placements into US feedlots in September. Lean hog futures also settled higher after several days at contract lows.
Heavier feedlot placements add near-term supply, but analysts note heifers are not being retained, which could tighten supplies and support feeder and live cattle prices later.
