CME feeder cattle reach new high on limited US supply
CHICAGO, - Chicago Mercantile Exchange feeder cattle futures reached new highs on Monday, while live cattle finished stronger on concerns over limited U.S. supplies, analysts said.
Although Washington began to resume cattle imports from Mexico, inventories remain tight and demand for beef from consumers is solid, they said.
CME August feeder cattle futures finished up 4.225 cents at 313.725 cents per pound. August live cattle ended 1.85 cents higher at 215.900 cents per pound.
Futures prices looked low compared with cash prices that traded last week, a trader said. CME feeder cattle also got a boost from declining prices for corn used for livestock feed, analysts added.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said last week it would resume cattle imports from Mexico at a port of entry in Douglas, Arizona, on Monday as part of a phased reopening of the border. The agency suspended imports in May due to spread of the damaging livestock pest New World screwworm in Mexico.
The decision to resume trade at the Douglas port will ease economic pain for some cattle producers who depend on imports from Mexico for their business, said Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.
Other cattle groups opposed the reopening and warned that it increases the risk for screwworm to enter the United States.
Mexico's government said it has started to build a $51 million facility in the country's south as part of an effort to combat screwworm. It is slated to be completed in the first half of 2026.
In the pork market, CME August lean hogs ended up 1 cent at 107.100 cents per pound, after falling earlier to their lowest level in more than a month.

Crypto price today: Bitcoin slips below $116,000 amid liquidations; Solana, XRP fall up to 5%
Bitcoin slipped below key support levels on Friday, triggering a broad risk-off sentiment across the crypto market. As of 2:14 pm IST, the world's largest cryptocurrency was trading at $115,150, down 2.9%, while Ethereum held firm, rising 0.5% to $3,346. Most altcoins saw mixed movement. ADVERTISEMENT Bitcoin's decline below the $116,000 mark sparked heavy long liquidations. According to Riya Sehgal, Research Analyst at Delta Exchange, the market saw $721 million in total liquidations over the past 24 hours, with long positions accounting for $567 million. 'The drop from $119,000 to below $116,000 triggered cascading liquidations, particularly in the $117,000–$120,000 zone,' she said. A liquidity buildup between $113,000 and $115,000 could now offer short-term support. Edul Patel, Co-founder and CEO of Mudrex, said that while broader macro sentiment has improved due to progress in U.S.-Japan and U.S.-EU trade talks, Bitcoin continues to face resistance near $120,000. 'A sustained move below $115,300 could take BTC down to $110,000 before any relief rally,' he noted. According to Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus, Bitcoin may be entering a short-term correction. 'Momentum is fading, and a hidden bearish divergence with RSI points to weakness. The unfilled CME gap between $114,200 and $115,600 could attract price action,' he said. Subburaj added that profit booking and thinning liquidity are weighing on near-term ETFs saw net inflows of $226.7 million on July 24 after three straight sessions of outflows, suggesting cautious re-entry by institutional investors. However, CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted that CME open interest fell over 5% in the last day, indicating that some big players may be paring back exposure. 'Meanwhile, retail participation continues to rise — a trend that often signals increased volatility,' the firm remains relatively stable, with over 20 consecutive days of ETF inflows. Still, the network faces over $2.3 billion in ETH waiting to be unstaked, with delays extending beyond 11 days. ADVERTISEMENT Altcoins largely followed Bitcoin's lead. Solana dropped 4.7%, Dogecoin fell 4%, XRP was down 1%, and Cardano slipped 1.1%. Tron was the exception, posting modest gains. Bitcoin dominance posted a green candle on the weekly chart for the first time in four weeks, reflecting a shift back toward BTC. Looking ahead, traders remain cautious as the U.S. is set to reimpose tariffs starting August 1. The move could trigger another wave of selling across risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
