CME Group reported a record 209,363 combined lean-hog futures and options contracts traded on November 9, beating the previous peak by 4,415 contracts. CME linked the activity to lean-hog prices falling toward multi-year lows and rising need to manage price risk.
Heavy hedging reflects weak hog prices that squeeze producer margins and may reduce future hog supply, while processors face their own cost exposure. The record shows stress in the livestock sector but does not by itself move feed demand.
