Hogs Falls into the Friday Close

Lean hog futures fell 12 cents to $1.32 across the board on Friday, though June still finished the week with a 12-cent gain. USDA’s national base hog price dropped $1.80 to $91.52, signaling softer cash market conditions. The move is negative for hog prices but appears routine rather than market-moving.
