An analysis of forecasts of livestock prices

Article Abstract:

Forecasts of US hog and cattle prices are targeted as possible determinants of actual prices. Commodity experts, particularly Prof Glenn Grimes, are more accurate than organized futures markets in predicting actual prices for cattle. For hogs, the two sources score about the same. These forecasts are for several months ahead. Cattle price forecasts is believed to be more difficult to formulate because of the reduced demand for beef.
