Feeder cattle futures cme market chatter suggests CME feeder

Market chatter suggests CME feeder cattle futures may experience short-term consolidation, with traders engaging in spread strategies between feeder and live cattle contracts. Seasonal volatility historically increases into September placements. The quarterly silver futures chart, dating back to the 1960s, illustrates the parabolic move in silver futures that took the price to its highest level since 2011, and brought it within striking distance of the $49.82 high from that year and the all-time $50.36 peak from 1980.

CME feeder cattle futures are holding above key technical support even with volatile feed grain markets. If corn and soy trade lower, feeder margins could expand, potentially boosting futures toward late-2014 highs.
