Live and feeder cattle futures rose for a second consecutive day after a nine-session decline, supported by technical and bargain buying and stronger estimated beef packer margins. Lean hog futures ended narrowly mixed, while weak pork demand and a low pork cutout value continued to weigh on the market.
Improving packer margins may support cattle buying and futures, but the rebound is largely technical and does not establish a change in underlying demand. Weak pork demand remains a bearish signal for hog prices.
