Lean hog futures closed weaker, down about $0.10 in some deferred contracts with June near $2.40. USDA's national base hog price was not reported Wednesday afternoon due to light cash-market volume, while the CME Lean Hog Index was up $0.13 on April 3. The combination of modest futures losses and thin cash trading indicates limited liquidity and ambiguous near-term direction. Overall this is a minor, localized development unlikely to move broad markets.
