From tightening beef supplies and climbing poultry prices to the first real lift in pork bellies and a dairy market finding its footing, this week feels like a shift. Nothing is running away yet, but momentum is building, and the next few weeks could look very different.
BEEF: Tight production is keeping beef supported, with strips still climbing and Valentine’s Day putting a floor under ribeyes and tenderloins. With a shrinking herd, there may be more upward pressure ahead.
POULTRY: Avian Flu losses jumped again, already lifting egg prices, while chicken continues its steady climb – and there’s still room to run.
GRAINS: Heavy supplies kept corn flat and wheat slightly lower, with soy oil’s push higher stalling – but this story isn’t over yet.
PORK: Bellies finally moved higher and should keep climbing into spring, pulling bacon along with them. This run may just be getting started.
DAIRY: Butter led another week of gains as the dairy market firmed up, and the momentum could continue.
