U.S. feeder cattle and live cattle futures fell sharply during the week of November 2–6, with feeder cattle reaching a six-week low and live cattle an 11-month low before both rebounded late Friday. Analysts attributed pressure to election-related risk-off trading, concerns about the economy, declining boxed beef values, and possible disruption to beef exports from a threatened labor strike at Los Angeles and Long Beach ports.
Weaker beef cutout values and potential export delays could reduce demand for fed cattle and weigh on cattle prices; the port risk is particularly relevant to U.S. shipments to Southeast Asia. Election-driven uncertainty added volatility to livestock and other commodity markets.
