Lean hog futures were mixed on Monday, with nearby contracts higher and deferred contracts lower. USDA’s national base hog price fell $1.49 to $44.72, while the pork cutout value edged up 16 cents to $70.81; estimated slaughter was above both the prior week and year-earlier level.
The lower cash hog price and larger slaughter estimate point to near-term supply pressure, although futures were mixed and the cutout value was slightly higher. This is routine market information without a new underlying driver.
