Tridge summary
U.S. meat exports during the week ending July 8th failed to hold at the previous week’s lofty levels. That is due in part to it being a holiday week, with many U.S. operations closed July 5th in observance of Independence Day. The USDA says pork export sales of 10,600 tons were down 76% on the week, with a net reduction by China, and beef export sales of 9,300 tons were 61% less than the week before. Grain and oilseed sales were generally routine, with U.S. sellers facing plenty of competition and demand partially limited by relatively high prices. The USDA’s next set of supply and demand estimates is out on August 12th.
