Commodities & Raw MaterialsCommodity Futures

Live cattle futures were up $1.40 to $1.80 at midday, indicating a modest near-term bounce in the market. Cash trading was limited to a few $230–$232 sales, insufficient to confirm a broader trend, while Thursday’s Fed Cattle Exchange auction cleared zero sales on 1,530 head (no bids reaching executed trades). Overall, price momentum is improving, but liquidity/confirmation remains thin.
