## Linked price moves

| Commodity | Date | Window | Change % | z-score | Why linked |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| LCATTLE | 2022-05-01 | 1 | -2.4% | -5.0 | Live cattle futures fell sharply (June down $3) after the On Feed report; it is the leading selloff just before the window, with follow-through weakness. |
| LCATTLE | 2022-05-05 | 5 | -3.2% | -2.9 | The sharp drop after the On Feed report on April 25 lowered the price level, so the later move partly reflects that selloff, although the date is just before the window. |
