United States: stable but waiting for political signals

The U.S. imported beef market remains quiet. “It’s been the same story for weeks—little movement,” a trader said. Another broker mentioned US$ 5,700 FOB for 90CL beef from Uruguay outside quota, while Argentina reported US$ 8,500–8,600 FOB for topside with quota. Domestic beef prices have stabilized, ending the recent decline in lean trim.
