I'm Matt Rice with the Market Line Report for Friday October 16th. Both live and feeder cattle looking dim as the livestock prices trade lower across the board today. Oliver Sloup shares his thoughts from the floor of the CME with II Trader.

Sloup- "Happy Thursday to you from the floor of the CME, here in Chicago I'm Oliver Sloup with II Trader and your meat market update. Looks a little gloomy for any bulls out there still alive in this cattle market. Looking at the live cattle and the feeder cattle, both trading lower today. Likely long liquidation from people that caught that move higher over the last couple of weeks. I do think there is a little more upside potential."
