This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, Nov 2nd. Consumer confidence plays a role in Thursday cattle trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Terry Roggensack.

ROGGENSACK ... "Choppy trade expected for the rest of 2018, but the outlook still very positive for 2019. Consumer confidence hitting the highest level in 18 years in the report this past week. This is a very supportive factor. Beef demand and beef prices are sitting here well above last year and two year ago price levels even though we've got a lot more beef production this year than last year or two years ago. Second factor is the massive imports of maybe all meats from China for 2019 could be a very positive force for the coming year."
