Lean hog futures rebounded Friday, closing up 30 to 85 cents after a weekly decline, with October contracts down $2.49 overall. Open interest dropped by 2,373 contracts, signaling reduced market participation. USDA’s national base hog price fell 20 cents to $98.72, while the CME Lean Hog Index declined 56 cents to $103.70, reflecting persistent downward pressure on live hog valuations. Pork cutout prices rose 95 cents to $108.30 per cwt, though butt and rib primals weakened. The mixed primal performance suggests uneven demand across pork products. Weekly federally inspected hog slaughter reached 2.602 million head—72,000 more than last week but 4,371 below 2024 levels, hinting at supply constraints compared to prior years. December and February 2026 futures gained modestly, closing at $87.30 and $89.30 respectively, indicating cautious optimism amid broader market volatility.
