Cow Tipping: October Live Cattle

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

October Live Cattle      Once again the cattle market closed right around speed line support at 106. The contract did post a new low to 104.200 after making a early high at 107.475. It does appear that the most recent decline from the 109.750 seen on the 28th represents a five wave structure and could be of a terminating …

Coin Flip: October Live Cattle

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

October Live Cattle       I really thought the picture would get a lot clearer after today’s session. Instead, however, the cattle market fails to impress or disappoint as today’s action leaves the October contract basically unchanged.

The dollar today continues its path lower. This should be watched. The dollar weakness can have impact on the grain trade and we are a bit off the highs and a bit weaker than I thought possible. The soy complex for me is a bit difficult in here. I remain macro bearish based on the long term fundamentals . The …
