Live Cattle
Technicals (February – G)
February live cattle got a nice rally on yesterday’s open, thanks in part to softer inflation data that propelled outside markets higher. Cattle futures got back near the secondary breakdown point and ran out of gas, closing well off the highs. Though not all is lost for the Bulls, that is not what they wanted to see. There is another cattle on feed report on Friday which could lead to some positioning. Looking past that in into next week’s holiday trade, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the market consolidate and settle into a more rational range.

Feeder Cattle
Technicals (January – F)
January feeder cattle marked their third consecutive day of gains with yesterday’s close. With that said, it was rather lackluster as it wasn’t even enough to recover all of last Thursday’s losses. As mentioned in the live cattle section, we wouldn’t be surprised to see some positioning ahead of Friday’s Cattle on Feed report, but looking past that we wouldn’t be surprised to see the market settle into a more normal environment.

Lean Hogs
Technicals (December – Z)
December lean hogs rejected the 100-day moving average yesterday and retreated, but it wasn’t enough to do any serious technical damage. Our pivot pocket will be the inflection point that could start to trigger a bigger downward move.
Resistance: 74.00-74.500***
Pivot: 70.00-70.25
Support: 67.32-67.80***, 65.40-65.67**
