Marketline Report for Friday, October 13th
This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, October 13th. The cattle market takes a hit on Thursday. With more from the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Joe Vaclavik ...Joe Vaclavik ... "Live cattle market was sharply lower here on Thursday following a string of higher closes. So, a little bit of a set-back here following what had been a multi-week rally in this live cattle market, just a little bit of a corrective set-back. I'm not ready to say that the party is over just yet, but we did set-back here a little bit. Cash cattle market has not seen a lot of action yet this week. We had some light cleanup trade Monday at the $110 price, I believe. We did not see any cash cattle exchange hands on the electronic fed cattle exchange yesterday. We did hear some rumors today, however, of some stronger bids in the south, I believe. So, we're going to wait and see what this cash market does, but for the moment the market taking kind of a breather."
