US lean hog futures rose to their highest level since November 19 after China said it would waive import tariffs on some US soybean and pork shipments. Industry sources said the waivers could cover up to 10 million tonnes of soybeans and an unknown volume of pork.
Tariff waivers raise the chance of higher US pork and soybean sales to China, though buying interest in hogs faded quickly and rival suppliers still hold a tariff advantage.
