MEATS: 5/18/12  CATTLE ON FEED. Higher closes yesterday for lean hogs, live cattle and feeder cattle futures.  The June cattle contract settled higher for its forth session in a row making its best high and close since late March giving me a BUY SIGNAL.  Closing over 1150 basis the June contract was critical in my opinion.  The August feeder cattle also gave me a BUY SIGNAL after its best high and close since the middle of March and filling a gap earlier in the week.  Also, the feeders are still now above some in a decent looking support areas.  Next closing over 160 is important to continue much higher in my opinion.  Hogs settled higher making their best high and close in 2 1/2 weeks since late April also still having a gap at 9022 while looking lower overall.  However, they also look like they could be forming a potential bottom.  For additional customizable charts and quotes visit Markethead.com for a FREE, no-obligation 30 day subscription.  BUY SIGNALS FOR LIVE CATTLE AND FEEDER CATTLE FUTURES.  SELL SIGNAL FOR LEAN HOGS.  CALL FOR DETAILS AT (312) 277-0107 OR EMAIL ralexander@zaner.com!

MEATS: 5/16/12  Higher closes for lean hogs, live cattle and feeder cattle futures.  The June cattle contract settled higher and, while still in a down-trend, is forming a possible bottom at this time.  Cattle are still in a resistance area that goes up to around 11750 neeeding to settle over this price for a potential turnaround higher 11750.  The August feeder cattle contract closed also settled higherstill with a gap at 158625 although filling gaps in the feeders is not a reliable as the cattle and hogs due to much lower liquidity.  Also, the feeders are still in a decent looking support area needing to close over the 160 in my opinion.  Hogs settled higher making their best high and close in 2 1/2 weeks also still having a gap at 9022 while looking lower overall.  For additional customizable charts and quotes visit Markethead.com for a FREE, no-obligation 30 day subscription.  SELL SIGNALS FOR LIVE CATTLE AND FEEDER CATTLE ALONG WITH LEAN HOG FUTURES.  CALL FOR DETAILS AT (312) 277-0107 OR EMAIL ralexander@zaner.com!

MEAT FUTURES COMMENTS

JUNE LEAN HOGS:   The monthly chart is attempting to form a key reversal bottom and it is trying to get back over the 20 day ma.  That is good for further rally potential near term.  On the weekly chart they have rallied back over both the 20 and 100 day ma this week.  That is positive and could suggest further rally.  Keep stops at 84.12.  Closed 86.40, up 1.02.  Position:  Long 84.57 (5.8).  Projection:  90.22 gap.

JUNE CATTLE:  Stops were reached on Friday and they have rallied since!  Just looking at the daily chart they look as though they may try to take out the recent high of 117.15.  Long term the weekly suggests higher prices.  On the monthly chart they are back over the 20 day ma and could be supportive too.  They still suggest a projection to 120.00.  Closed 116.42, up .27.  Position:  Long 116.55 (5.9).  Exit 115.05 (5.11).  Loss $655 (+comm/fees).

Live Cattle & Feeder Cattle futures give buy signals (5/15)

By: Larry Baer, senior broker at Zaner Group.

Live cattle futures rallied today (5/15) along with feeder cattle.

This move higher for June live cattle futures gives me a buy signal on the daily chart.  This is the first buy signal live cattle have given since the trend changed to the upside.  Although the trend is down on the weekly chart there is a large gap that the live cattle may fill and the trend remains up on the monthly chart.  A close above 117.150 will not only suggest that live cattle may be in a longer-term up-trend it will also issue a King’s Cross counter-trend buy signal on the weekly chart.

August feeder cattle futures are also showing a buy signal on the daily chart today.  The trend is up on the monthly chart.
