# EYCI catches 90CL as Brazil fails to fill US demand - Mecardo

> The Eastern Young Cattle Indicator (EYCI) has reached parity with the 90CL imported beef price for the first time in over three years, as Australian cattle prices rose on renewed retention and restocker confidence. Export beef prices have softened in Australian dollar terms since July, while Brazil is not filling US demand.
