Live Cattle
Technicals (August): August live cattle futures came out of the gate strong to start the week but gave back some of those early games by the afternoon session. Though the price action was again disappointing as it continues to test the patience of the Bulls, there was no technical damage done. We remain optimistic and believe that a run into the April 25th gap is still possible, but we are starting to run against the shot clock and wouldn’t recommend holding your breath for that move.
