| Commodity | Date | Window | Change % | z-score | Why linked |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| LCATTLE | 2025-07-01 | 1 | -3.4% | -5.4 | Dated on the move day, it reports USDA allowing Mexican cattle imports to resume and cattle futures declining, a supply-increase signal that plausibly triggered the sharp one-day drop. |
| LCATTLE | 2025-07-01 | 5 | -3.6% | -3.1 | On the window's end date, USDA's move to let Mexican cattle imports resume, together with declining cattle futures, points to expected supply returning and sentiment turning bearish. |
| LCATTLE | 2025-07-02 | 5 | -3.9% | -3.3 | Reports that cattle futures declined as USDA moved to resume Mexican imports tie the price drop directly to the trade-policy news. |
