High end of beef market starts to harden as grid pricing returns
This is a four-day working week for the factories, with Good Friday out and the Easter Monday holiday making next week similar, but the plants are showing no interest in securing a higher intake on the operating days.
The factories are maintaining a harder line on prices for stock this week as they continue to tighten on the higher returns to producers.
The determination to enforce a "cooling off" has hardened, but the experts maintain it is more about a "market price correction" than any downturn in the trade forward, insisting that the outlook remains positive for the coming months.
