U.S. live and feeder cattle futures rose Monday after reaching multi-month lows, with short covering, technical buying and bargain hunting driving the rebound. Lean hog futures also gained in nearby contracts on short covering and technical buying.
The move was mainly a technical correction rather than evidence of a change in livestock supply or demand, so its price implications may be limited. Stronger equities and hopes for consumer demand added support to cattle futures.
