This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Thursday, Sep 26th. A trade deal with Japan gives the livestock market a little boost Wednesday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here’s Chirs Robinson.

ROBINSON … “We really have had a pretty good week-and-a-half in the whole protein complex. Today’s good news though, with the start of the Japanese trade deal, they’re lowering tariffs on our pork and beef and, really, the market that moved sharpest on that news, lean hogs. And, on the flip-side, the cattle market. After a severe selloff post the Smithfield fire, we’ve had a good recovery. We’ve had about a $10 rally in live cattle, or fat cattle, about a $14 or $15 rally in feeder cattle, a really good recovery in feeder cattle. And, I think the number one thing that would keep this going is if we get a USMCA deal.”
