Jones terminated buying interest
Further pressure came from ideas
that the market had become “lop
py" and was due for a technical
correction, especially after a steep
increase in open interest for back
month contracts was released.
Higher trending average cash
prices provided some support to
the front month feeder cattle
option, with losses of only 7 points
compared to losses in the Feb. live
cattle of 67 points.
Pre-estimates for this week’s
USDA Cattle-on-Feed quarterly
report were released as follows:
Average Estimate Total Range
On Feed 1/01 104.7% 103 - 107%
Dec. Placements 87.8% 82 - 94%
Dec. Marketings 102.0% 97
106.6%,
This appears to be fairly neutral
for front months and bullish for
back months with the light place
ments and active marketings.

ACRES NEXT DAY OUT
LOOK; cash - steady futures
steady to lower.
ACRES HOG UPDATE: Live
hog futures settled sharply lower
this afternoon with strong selling
through out the session attributed
to ideas that the complex had been
overbought and profit-taking.
Midday wholesale was quoted
weaker and ideas that cash open
ings would be weaker tomorrow
activated further sales. The USDA
pre-release estimates for the cold
storage report came in at 62.5 mil
lion pounds which compared to
35.6 million pounds of frozen bell
ies on Nov. 30th.
