CME live cattle sink on long liquidation as beef rally falters
CHICAGO, June 20 (Reuters) - Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle surrendered early gains on Friday and slumped to a 2-1/2 week low on long liquidation and profit-taking following recent all-time highs and as surging beef prices showed signs of topping out, traders said. Position squaring ahead of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's monthly Cattle on Feed report, released after the close, also contributed weakness. The market had been underpinned by rallying beef prices before choice beef slipped on Friday. Demand for beef is expected to wane following a series of holidays when beef consumption typically rises, including Father's Day and the upcoming U.S. Independence Day holiday. Benchmark CME August live cattle settled 1.850 cents lower at 209.825 cents per pound, the lowest close since June 3. "You did see the big run-up in choice box beef slow down a little bit today. As we draw closer to the 4th of July, you're gonna have the idea that that's gonna cool off a little bit more," said Matthew Wiegand, broker with FuturesOne. The choice boxed beef cutout value fell $3.29 per cwt on Friday to $390.50 after gaining $28.71 since June 6, according to USDA data. The select cutout was up $2.36 at $376.95 per cwt on Friday. After the close, the USDA reported that the U.S. supply of cattle on feed as of June 1 was down 1% from a year earlier, in line with trade estimates, while May placements were down 8%, a larger-than-expected drop. CME feeder cattle followed live cattle lower, surrendering early gains that were tied to the ongoing suspension of imports from Mexico over concerns about New World screwworm south of the border. The USDA on Wednesday announced new plans to combat the pest as screwworm flies have been moving northward in Mexico. August feeder cattle ended down 1.725 cents at 302.450 cents per pound. CME lean hog futures ended higher, with actively-traded August up 0.450 cent at 112.450 cents. (Reporting by Karl Plume; Editing by Alan Barona)

Rockstar Games has officially announced "Money Fronts," the next major update for Grand Theft Auto Online, set to arrive on June 17, 2025. The update introduces a sophisticated layer to the criminal underworld of San Andreas, allowing players to establish seemingly legitimate businesses as covers for their illicit activities, reminiscent of the popular series Breaking Bad. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now At the heart of the "Money Fronts" update is the ability for players to acquire and manage a range of storefronts that operate as fronts for money laundering. The entry point into this new venture is the iconic Hands On Car Wash in Strawberry. GTA 5 Online update: New money laundering fronts At the core of the update is the Hands On Car Wash, a low-profile but cash-intensive business that allows players to launder dirty money. With support from Martin Madrazo, players will connect with new advisors who help them manage operations, unlock additional fronts, and expand their laundering empire. Players will be able to expand their legitimate portfolio to include other businesses like the "Smoke on the Water" dispensary and "Higgins Helitours." These additional fronts will not only help launder ill-gotten gains but also boost the earnings from existing criminal enterprises, such as weed farms and air freight cargo. Owning the car wash will also provide access to other businesses, including the Smoke on the Water dispensary and Higgins Helitours, which enhance earnings from Weed Farms and Air Freight Cargo networks. Illegal activities tied to these operations will generate Heat, attracting unwanted attention. Players must balance criminal dealings with legitimate business management to keep their passive income flowing while avoiding law enforcement scrutiny. New vehicles and gameplay enhancements The Money Fronts update also introduces a range of new vehicles, including: * Karin Everon RS (SUV) * Declasse Tampa GT (Muscle Car) * Western Police Bike (for Dispatch Work missions) Additionally, Rockstar is rolling out quality-of-life improvements, such as: * Missile Lock-On Jammer support for 50 more vehicles * Option to skip certain cutscenes when replaying missions * Arena Points earnings doubled * Increased delay for global signals during public Sell Missions * Removal of Boxville van from Biker Sell Missions
