Lean hog futures rallied Monday, with gains ranging from $0.12 to $3.22 across contracts. April 2026 contracts closed at $90.475, while June 2026 saw the largest increase, settling at $107.700. USDA’s pork carcass cutout value rose 9 cents to $99.04 per cwt, though butt and loin primals declined. The CME Lean Hog Index dropped 16 cents to $90.01, reflecting mixed market signals. Monday’s federally inspected hog slaughter fell sharply to 367,000 head, down 124,000 from the prior week and 122,275 below the same 2025 period, signaling reduced supply pressure. USDA’s national base hog price went unreported due to light trade, adding uncertainty to market trends amid volatile conditions. The rally contrasts recent downward trends, with analysts noting potential seasonal shifts as the 2026 grilling season approaches.
