This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Thursday, Sep 12th. The futures lead a surge in Wednesday's livestock market. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Today in the livestock market, cattle rebounded. That follow-through buying definitely lifted the futures. We just saw it really come off the bottom from two days ago, on Monday, when the market really bottomed out. But, it's really come off solidly now. Cash trade and demand still is kind of slow, but it seems like the technicals really were stepping in and raised the bids and provided possibly a new up-trend. It's only been a couple of days. It's hard to distinguish whether this is going to be a new trend, but still was up very strong today. Interestingly enough, the feeders today, they also surged even more than live cattle. The new gains did gain some momentum here and so it could be that maybe we're going to finally start to lead this market back up."
