As of September 10, 2025, Brazil’s beef market has experienced notable stability in cattle prices, particularly for the ‘boi gordo’ (fat cattle), which has remained steady at R$ 238.00 per arroba. However, alongside this price stability, there are significant issues regarding market liquidity, with many transactions facing delays and reduced availability. For instance, during the first week of September, there was a noticeable decrease in liquidity, impacting the overall transactions within the cattle market, signaling potential hurdles for both buyers and sellers.
The recent context reveals that while the prices have managed to sustain themselves, the challenges in liquidity could compound if the situation does not improve. Market participants are growing increasingly concerned that these liquidity issues may hinder the effectiveness of future transactions, with reports indicating that businesses are experiencing caution, which has led to a decrease in deal closures.
