Farm Online reports Australia's live cattle exports have stalled as Indonesian feedlots cancel orders to avoid buying animals at risk of foot-and-mouth disease. Live cattle exports are running 55% under the five-year average, with June shipments to Indonesia at just 25,730 head.
Halted live cattle shipments to Indonesia push Australian cattle prices lower and add supply to domestic markets, weakening the outlook for imported beef and feed demand.
After 70 past bearish disease events, Live Cattle moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.0%), and +0.4% over 20.
