Cattle Joining The Rallies
This is Matt Rice with the Market Line Report for June 9th. Cattle futures finally climbing back in the saddle, but this rally could be short lived. Let's check in with Todd Horwitz from the floor of the CME in Chicago, with Bubbatrader.com.
Horwitz "Wednesday's livestock trade, you know I guess finally the livestock decided to participate with everything else that's been going ballistic, but really they're really not. We've been watching some very key levels, if you look at live cattle we've been watching that $1.17 level, we've been on both sides of that in the last week or so and I think that action will continue. Yes, we're having a very nice rally today but again we are just back above $1.17 from coming from below it. So I think you want to watch this overall, I'm very bullish to space and I think we are going higher, but I think you got to watch and let the markets dictate to you when the right times are to get in."
