Live cattle futures rebounded after recent losses, with an analyst suggesting they may have reached a short-term low; trading activity included fund liquidation from the December contract. Feeder cattle cash prices fell, while fed-cattle cash averaged $215.43 last week, down $8.30, with heavy-weight cattle in the North contributing to pressure; the analyst said cash trade would determine whether futures could bottom.
Weak cash prices and heavy-weight cattle add near-term pressure to live and feeder cattle, although packer buying and a futures bounce may limit further declines. The article reports no new demand or supply shock that would materially change the outlook.
