Beef Central's SE Asia report says foot-and-mouth disease continues to spread across Indonesia, with slow vaccination and emergency slaughter causing volatile live cattle prices. Australian cattle prices are declining sharply as a result.
Spreading FMD in Indonesia cuts demand for Australian live cattle and creates price volatility, which pressures Australian cattle values.
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.
