The Brazilian live cattle market experienced a fluctuation last week, with a slight rebound largely due to exports to China, despite a weak domestic beef market. The average weekly price was R$285.08 per arroba, showing a 2.5% increase from the previous week but a significant 18.1% decrease year-over-year. The total price accumulated in March was R$278.24, marking a decrease of 4% and 19.3% compared to February and March of the previous year, respectively. The coming week is expected to see slow retail trade due to low consumer purchasing power, with demand for live cattle being influenced by the need for slaughterhouses to increase slaughter scales for the foreign market.
