The Two-Week Turn

The holiday push is wrapping up, and the markets are starting to show their hand. Beef is splitting in two directions, poultry feels steady but uneasy, pork stays a value, grains won’t budge, and dairy may finally be finding a floor. With January right around the corner, the next two weeks could set the tone for everything that follows.

BEEF: Holiday pricing is making its final stand, and the beef market is starting to split in two directions. Middle meats are finally easing while other cuts quietly set up their next move. Two weeks from now, this market could look very different.

POULTRY: Chicken finishes the year well supplied and steady, but this calm feels temporary. With avian flu still popping up and no real downside left, the next move is likely up – the only question is when.

GRAINS: Soy export news finally surfaced, but the grain markets barely blinked. Corn, soy, and wheat remain stuck in neutral, waiting for something – anything – to break the stalemate.

PORK: Bellies slide again, keeping bacon firmly in value territory heading into the new year. With strong production and solid inventories, pork remains one of the quiet winners on the board.

DAIRY: Dairy prices are sending mixed signals, hinting the recent slide may be running out of steam. Whether this is the bottom or just another pause is the next story to watch.
