Live Cattle Futures--- Live cattle futures in the
December contract settled last Friday in Chicago at 146.05 while
currently trading at 142.70 as I’ve been recommending a short position
from 146 and if you took that trade continue to place your stop loss
above the 10 day high which currently stands at 146.72 as the trend
remains bearish in my opinion.
Cattle prices are trading far
below their 20 and 100 day moving average telling you that the
short-term trend is to the downside as prices are near a 6 month low
testing recent support and a double bottom around 142 and if that level
is broken I think an all-out bear market is underway as cattle prices
are still too high compared to the rest of the commodity markets.
The
fundamentals in cattle are starting to turn bearish as Canada is
entering a recession as they are a large importer of U.S beef which
should slow down demand as these are still very high historical prices
as the chart structure is very solid at the current time so take
advantage of any price rally while maintaining the proper risk parameter
of 2% of your account balance as I do think prices will break 140 next
week. TREND: LOWER –CHART STRUCTURE: SOLID
