Cattle Prices Soar Amid Record-low Herd Size and Holiday DemandCME: Live Cattle Futures ( CME:LE1! ) CME live cattle futures market rallied last week. February 2026 contract rose $3.15 to settle at $227.15 (per 100 pounds) on Friday, gaining $9.30 or 4.63% on the week. In the spot market, the National Daily Cattle & Beef Summary shows that the Weekly Average Price of Choice Cutout was $361.20 per 100 pounds as of December 5th. This is $46 or 15% above the year-ago price, and $83 or 30% above the 5-year average. A major driver of the rising beef prices stems from a record low cattle supply. The start of 2025 saw the smallest national herd since 1951. Meanwhile, beef consumption increases due to the holiday season as well as the cold weather. Low supply and high demand are a recipe for higher prices. November WASDE Report On November 14th, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) published an update on World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates, also known as the WASDE report. November WASDE is bullish on beef and cattle: • For 2025, beef production is lowered, as reduced steer and heifer slaughter and lower weights are partially offset by higher expected cow and bull slaughter. • For 2026, beef production is lowered on reduced steer and heifer slaughter, with the slower rate of fed cattle marketings expected to carry into the first half of 2026. • The beef import forecasts for 2025 and 2026 are unchanged from the previous report based on U.S. Census data reported through July. Beef exports are reduced in the third quarter of 2025 but remain unchanged for the outlying quarters of 2025 and 2026. While the November WASDE forecasted lower cattle prices for Q4 2025 and 1H 2026, I expect the December WASDE to raise its price forecasts based on recent market rallies. July Cattle Inventory The U.S. cattle herd totaled 94.2 million head as of July 1, 2025, according to the latest bi-annual Cattle report from the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Among the total herd, 38.1 million were cows and heifers that have calved. The report also breaks down the numbers by category, with 28.7 million beef cows and 9.45 million milk cows counted nationwide. The 2025 calf crop is projected at 33.1 million head, while 13 million cattle are currently on feed. The cattle cycle is the natural expansion and contraction of the U.S. cattle herd — which is tied to supply and demand. It typically occurs every eight to 12 years. When producers can get higher prices, they will likely retain more females, called heifers, for breeding. When the cattle supply increases, prices eventually go down and the herds contract again. However, if farmers begin retaining heifers to put into the breeding herd, it will first reduce the total domestic beef production because we have fewer animals going to the feedlot. Therefore, even though higher beef prices encourage heifer retention, I expect the number of marketing cattle to remain low for the next 6-12 months. Partially offsetting the impact of smaller herd numbers is the fact that the U.S. is producing bigger cattle. Incremental supply, mainly for ground beef, also comes from beef imports. Trading with CME Live Cattle Futures Futures market shows bullish sentiment. CFTC’s Commitments of Traders report shows that, as of October 28th, CME live cattle futures ( NASDAQ:LE ) have total open interest (OI) of 343,707 contracts. • “Managed Money” holds 136,302 Long contracts, 21,163 Short contracts, and 35,555 contracts at spread positions. • The long/short ratio of 6.4-to-1 shows that “Smart Money” is bullish on Live Cattle. A trader sharing a similar bullish view could explore CME Live Cattle futures. Live Cattle futures ( NASDAQ:LE ) have a notional value of 40,000 pounds (~18 metric tons). At Friday settlement price of $227.15 per 100 pounds, the lead February contract LEG6 is worth $90,860. To buy or sell one contract, a trader is required to post an initial margin of $3,300. The point value of Live Cattle futures is $400. The futures contract has built-in leverage of 27.5:1 (= 90860 / 3300). • If LEG6 goes up 5% to $238.51, a long position will gain $4,544 (= (238.51-227.15) * 400). This will be a hypothetical return of 137.7% (= 4544 / 3300). • If LEG6 declines, the trader will see large losses due to leverage. To avoid unlimited exposure, the trader could enter the long position with a stoploss. • For illustration, a stoploss at 220 for the 228 long futures order will cap the loss at $3,200 (=(228-220) * 400).

Inflation and Interest Rates: Global Market ImpactIntroduction Inflation and interest rates are two of the most critical economic variables that influence global markets. Their dynamics shape investment decisions, currency valuations, corporate strategies, and overall economic stability. Understanding their interplay is essential not only for policymakers and investors but also for businesses and individuals navigating a highly interconnected global economy. Inflation refers to the sustained rise in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. Moderate inflation is considered healthy for economic growth, as it encourages consumption and investment. However, excessive inflation erodes purchasing power, creates uncertainty, and can destabilize economies. Conversely, deflation—a sustained decline in prices—can lead to reduced consumer spending and economic stagnation. Interest rates, typically determined by central banks, are the cost of borrowing money. They are a primary tool used to control inflation and stimulate or restrain economic activity. Lower interest rates tend to encourage borrowing and spending, while higher rates can dampen demand but stabilize prices. The relationship between inflation and interest rates is cyclical: inflation often prompts higher interest rates, and interest rates, in turn, affect inflationary trends. Inflation Dynamics in the Global Economy Global inflation is influenced by a combination of domestic and international factors. Key drivers include: Supply and Demand Imbalances: When demand outpaces supply, prices increase. Conversely, excess supply can lead to deflationary pressures. Global supply chain disruptions, such as those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, have historically fueled inflation in multiple sectors simultaneously. Commodity Prices: Oil, gas, metals, and agricultural commodities are highly sensitive to geopolitical tensions and global demand fluctuations. Rising commodity prices often translate into higher production costs, which are passed on to consumers, driving inflation worldwide. Currency Fluctuations: A weaker domestic currency makes imports more expensive, contributing to imported inflation. For example, a depreciation of the US dollar against other major currencies can lead to higher prices of imported goods in the United States, affecting global trade patterns. Fiscal and Monetary Policies: Expansionary fiscal policies, such as increased government spending and tax cuts, can boost demand and trigger inflation if not matched by supply-side measures. Similarly, central bank monetary policies, including quantitative easing, influence money supply and inflation expectations. Global Economic Integration: International trade, foreign investment, and cross-border capital flows link economies. Inflation in one major economy, such as the US or the EU, can ripple through global markets, affecting emerging markets that rely heavily on imports or foreign capital. Interest Rate Mechanisms and Their Global Influence Interest rates serve as the central lever to manage inflation and maintain economic stability. Central banks adjust rates primarily through policy rates, including the federal funds rate in the United States, the repo rate in India, or the European Central Bank's main refinancing rate. The impact of interest rate changes on global markets can be profound: Capital Flows and Exchange Rates: Higher interest rates attract foreign investment seeking higher returns, strengthening the domestic currency. Conversely, lower rates can trigger capital outflows and currency depreciation. For instance, rising US interest rates historically strengthen the dollar, creating pressure on emerging market currencies and affecting global trade balances. Investment Decisions: Interest rates influence the cost of borrowing for businesses and consumers. High rates discourage corporate expansion and consumer credit, reducing aggregate demand and cooling inflation. Low rates encourage borrowing, stimulate spending, and can boost equity markets. Stock and Bond Markets: Interest rate changes affect asset valuations. Bonds are particularly sensitive; higher rates decrease bond prices, while lower rates increase them. Equity markets may react to rate hikes negatively if borrowing costs rise and profit margins shrink. However, sectors like banking may benefit from higher rates due to increased lending spreads. Debt Sustainability: Both public and private debt levels are sensitive to interest rate movements. High global interest rates can strain heavily indebted countries and corporations, especially in emerging markets, increasing the risk of defaults and financial instability. Inflation Expectations: Central banks often adjust rates preemptively to manage inflation expectations. Market participants closely watch central bank signals, as anticipated rate hikes or cuts influence spending, investment, and speculative behavior across asset classes. Interaction Between Inflation and Interest Rates The relationship between inflation and interest rates is intertwined, forming a feedback loop: High Inflation → Higher Interest Rates: When inflation rises, central banks often raise interest rates to curb spending and borrowing, stabilizing prices. This was evident in the early 1980s when the US Federal Reserve, under Paul Volcker, aggressively raised rates to combat runaway inflation. Low Inflation → Lower Interest Rates: In periods of low inflation or deflation, central banks reduce interest rates to stimulate demand. Japan's prolonged low-interest environment is a prime example of using rates to counter deflationary pressures. Global Spillover Effects: Rate changes in one major economy affect other countries due to global capital mobility. For instance, when the Federal Reserve hikes rates, capital often flows from emerging markets to the US, causing currency depreciation and inflationary pressures abroad. Expectations and Market Psychology: Inflation expectations shape consumer and investor behavior. If markets anticipate higher inflation, bond yields may rise even before central banks act. This self-reinforcing loop can amplify global financial volatility. Impact on Global Financial Markets Inflation and interest rate dynamics have far-reaching implications for financial markets worldwide: Equity Markets: Higher interest rates increase borrowing costs and reduce corporate profitability, often leading to equity market corrections. Growth stocks, reliant on future earnings, are particularly sensitive to rate hikes. Conversely, lower rates generally support equity valuations and risk-taking. Fixed Income Markets: Bonds and debt instruments are inversely related to interest rates. Rising rates lead to declining bond prices and higher yields, affecting pension funds, insurance companies, and global investors heavily invested in fixed income. Foreign Exchange Markets: Currency values fluctuate in response to rate differentials and inflation trends. Countries with stable inflation and attractive interest rates see capital inflows, strengthening their currencies, while those with high inflation or low rates experience depreciation. Commodity Markets: Inflation often drives commodity prices higher, particularly in energy, metals, and food sectors. Conversely, rising interest rates can depress commodity demand, as borrowing costs increase and consumption slows. Global Trade and Investment: High inflation and interest rates can make exports less competitive, affecting trade balances. Foreign investors may shift funds to economies with higher real returns, influencing capital availability and investment in emerging markets. Emerging Market Vulnerabilities Emerging markets are particularly sensitive to global inflation and interest rate shifts: Debt Exposure: Many emerging economies rely on external borrowing in foreign currencies. Rising global rates increase debt servicing costs, risking fiscal instability. Capital Outflows: Rate hikes in developed economies can trigger capital flight from emerging markets, weakening currencies and increasing inflation through imported goods. Inflation Management Challenges: Emerging markets often face structural constraints—like supply chain inefficiencies—that make controlling inflation difficult, amplifying the impact of global rate changes. Policy Implications Policymakers face a delicate balancing act: Monetary Policy Coordination: Central banks must balance domestic objectives with global realities. Sudden rate changes in major economies can destabilize smaller economies, prompting coordinated interventions. Inflation Targeting: Many central banks adopt explicit inflation targets to anchor expectations. By clearly communicating policy intentions, they reduce uncertainty in global markets. Fiscal Prudence: Governments must complement monetary policy with sustainable fiscal measures to avoid exacerbating inflation or creating excessive debt burdens. Risk Management for Investors: Global investors monitor inflation and interest rate trends to adjust portfolios, hedge currency risks, and manage exposure to sensitive sectors like real estate, utilities, and commodities. Recent Trends and Lessons The past decade has illustrated the intertwined nature of inflation and interest rates: Post-Pandemic Inflation Surge: COVID-19 disrupted global supply chains, leading to inflation spikes in commodities and consumer goods. Central banks responded with gradual interest rate hikes to stabilize economies. Energy and Geopolitical Shocks: Conflicts, sanctions, and energy price volatility have heightened global inflation risks, prompting rapid monetary responses. Global Monetary Divergence: Different economies adopt varied approaches—some raising rates aggressively, others keeping them low—creating complex capital flow patterns and currency fluctuations. These experiences highlight the importance of anticipating inflationary trends and proactively managing interest rate policies in a globally integrated economy. Conclusion Inflation and interest rates are pivotal forces that shape global economic landscapes. Their influence extends across financial markets, currencies, trade, and investment flows, creating a complex web of interdependencies. Policymakers must navigate the delicate balance between stimulating growth and controlling inflation, while investors and businesses must adapt strategies to manage risk and seize opportunities. In an increasingly interconnected world, no economy operates in isolation. Inflation in one region can ripple through global markets, prompting interest rate adjustments and influencing investment decisions worldwide. The synergy between inflation and interest rates underscores the importance of careful monitoring, timely intervention, and strategic foresight in maintaining financial stability and fostering sustainable growth. Understanding these dynamics equips market participants to anticipate shifts, mitigate risks, and capitalize on opportunities, emphasizing the central role of inflation and interest rates in shaping the global economic narrative.
