This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Wednesday July 12th. The cattle market shows improvement in trading Tuesday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Joe Vaclavik ...

Vaclavik ... "The live cattle market was higher here on Tuesday. Futures market has been kind of back and forth here recently. You know, we posted some fresh three month lows last week and we've seen a little bit of a rebound. Now, has anything changed here fundamentally? I don't know. The cash markets' still been under quite a bit of pressure. The most recent cash trade last week was in the $117 to $118 range and that's a far cry from the trade in the mid-to-upper $130's that we saw just four or five weeks ago. So, things have really changed on the cash side. Boxed beef market has also deteriorated here. We saw some highs up in the choice boxes, up in the $250's just a few weeks ago and now we're down into the $210's."
