This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Tuesday, September 19th Some solidifying in cattle trading on Monday. With more from the Floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey ...

McGathey ... "Today, the cattle market actually firmed up. It bumped up from cash prices and really got a lift today although we've been staying in a very tight channel. The market is still looking for direction, but if we can get a "tell" from the direction, let's look at the feeders. The feeders today were up again for the eighth day in a row, so optimism is really fueling some of the buyer here and it continues to support some of the rally in the futures. That really looks well. It seems to me that a lot of traders are expecting that once we do get some fundamental news we know which way the direction they expect the market to go."
