U.S. Trade (U.S. funds) |

U.S.
cash cattle trade is quiet this morning with little business expected
before Thursday at the earliest. Pressure from outside markets have
pushed live cattle futures sharply lower this morning as well as feeder
cattle. Most commodities are feeling
the effect of outside markets with sharply lower trade as investors
limit risk exposure across a broad range of commodities. |
