In this daily market commentary, Oliver Sloup from Blue Line Futures reviews Tuesday's livestock markets, where early gains in Live Cattle futures and Feeder Cattle futures quickly reversed into a lower close across the board. Meanwhile, the Lean Hog futures market found firmer ground, supported by strong wholesale boxed beef cutouts later in the session. Sloup breaks down the latest daily slaughter data and explains how the delayed Commitment of Traders report revealed expanding fund net long positions in cattle alongside near-record short positioning on the lean hog side.
