Lean Hog Futures Dip, But Exports Shine
Update: 2025-12-02
Description
Lean hog futures experienced a dip on Monday, with prices falling across different contracts. The national base hog price also decreased, indicating downward pressure in the market. However, pork export sales reached a four-week high, and shipments hit an eighteen-week high, signaling strong international demand. The USDAs pork carcass cutout value saw a small increase, with only the butt and rib sections showing lower prices. The estimated federally inspected hog slaughter was slightly lower than the previous week but still higher than the same week last year. December, February, and April hog futures all closed lower, reflecting the days market sentiment.
