The Business News Headlines & More 27 July 2023

One of the stories we just didn't have time for is about beef prices and here it is: USDA released retail meat prices detailing what consumers were paying for meat in June. All fresh aggregate retail prices of beef hit new all-time highs in June, increasing to $7.57 per pound, about 3 cents per pound over the previous record high in October of 2021. Retail fresh beef prices are 3.1% higher than last year at this time. Retail pork prices continued to decline, coming in at $4.68 per pound, about 5% lower than last June. Broiler retail prices ticked higher. The composite price is 2% higher than last year but just under a new cord high by 4 cents.
