Both Cattle and Grain Futures Down on Thursday

Both Cattle and Grain Futures Down on Thursday

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for June 12, 2015.
I’m in John Day at the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association MidYear so today lets focus on the cattle future prices. From the floor of the CME Group, Oliver Sloup shares his observation of Thursday’s markets.
Oliver: “A lot of pressure across the board today live cattle and feeder cattle trading a little bit lower. Let’s start with the live cattle market live cattle really trading at a range the past several of months. I think we are going to continue to see that happen right in between $150 and $155 ping ponging around there with light volume for several seasons in a row now. If you're sitting on the side lines in this market and are want to jump in — you are going to want to look for a break out or a break down on heavier volume. Again that is is $150 to $155 risk range going forward. If you look at the feeder cattle market, it has really been on a tear for the last couple of sessions.”
Chicago July Wheat ended Thursday down 9 and 1/4 cents at 5-04 and 1/4. July corn ended the day down 3/4 of a cent at 3-56 and 1/2.
