MARKET OBSERVATIONS
Today’s trend: Firm but not quite as “hot”
-
Word from Europe so far this week
is that the market has reached a peak – at least temporarily
-
Low grades are in tight supply
with good demand that has been seen cleaning out producers.
-
After 3 of 5 trading days, steers
have only generally traded at steady prices.
