# Livestock Analysis | Cattle markets bounce to open the week

> December lean hog futures rose $2.35 on Monday after falling to contract lows the previous week, with short covering, bargain hunting and stronger stock markets supporting the rebound. Cash hog prices and the CME cash index continued to decline, although the USDA’s midday pork cutout value increased by $0.92.

## Why it matters

The futures bounce reflects renewed buying after steep losses, but continued declines in cash hog prices and the cash index temper the signal of stronger underlying demand. The move offers limited evidence of a sustained price recovery.
