Marketline Report for Thursday, June 21st
This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Thursday, June 21st. Uncertainty among cattle traders wondering about trade war potential. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Terry Roggensack.ROGGENSACK ... "Couple of factors in the cattle market which make us uneasy about the current price level, cattle on feed report on Friday expected to show June 1st feed lot supply at 3.4% above last year. That's going to leave plenty of beef around into the duller demand period into the Summer. August cattle afre sitting at the highest level since March 20th, but beef prices have pushed down to the lowest level since April 25th. That's going to keep the cash trend lower as we look forward and could pull that August cattle down."
