CME lean hog futures rose on Friday after the US and China announced a phase one trade agreement, with hopes it would lift Chinese purchases of US pork. The February contract settled up 0.85 cent at 69.50 cents per pound, about 2 cents below its session high, as traders struggled with the deal's details.
Commodity funds held a net short position in lean hogs.
Expected Chinese pork demand supports hog prices, but uncertain details and plentiful US hog and pork supplies limit the upside.
