 Looking at the Dow right now, it is down 34 points. European markets are higher and Asian markets are higher as well. Over on the livestock side of things, opening calls are for cattle and hogs, both to be lowered to mixed. It was anticipated cash would trade earlier this week. Unfortunately, prices have been lower. Live cattle in the south traded $4 lower with northern dress down $2. The selling pressure on futures this week likely has factored in. Now that cash is traded, the selling pressure may subside. Box beef prices declined again yesterday.
