This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Tuesday, Aug 6th. Cattle moves both sides of unchanged in Monday trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Cattle was mixed. There was a liquidation before the buying started. The market really started much lower. There's increased interest in European trade, plus the drop in the Dow. The big question is, will it last. Time will tell. We're watching because the markets are really going to be moving around now that the Dow has made such a big move, certainly the biggest move and absolutely to the down side for 2019. Feeders did swing up big-time and it actually went from a new low, a new 8-month low, to higher on the day.That really caught everyone by surprise and I think that all the liquidators turned right around and bought it back up. But, beef values have turned positive and now we're going to be focusing on a Labor Day bump hopefully if there's going to be a little bit more demand."
