Pigs Experienced a Decline on Tuesday
In the world of agricultural commodities, there's been a noticeable downturn in the Lean Hog market. On Tuesday, Lean Hog futures closed lower, with prices ranging from 15 cents to 62 cents lower.
The USDA's FOB plant pork cutout report from Tuesday morning showed prices down $1.79 at $112.28 per cwt. All primals were reported lower, reflecting the overall trend. However, it's important to note that the USDA's national base hog report for Tuesday afternoon showed a slight increase, up 42 cents from the previous day, closing at $106.29.
The weekly total of federally inspected hog slaughter has risen, reaching 978,000 head as a result of Tuesday's slaughter. This weekly total is 26,610 head above the same week last year.
Despite these fluctuations, the CME Lean Hog Index remained unchanged on September 12 at $106.14. It's worth mentioning that there are no publicly available records or credible sources indicating that any person or company leads the market for "Leberwurschin-Futures," suggesting it is either not a real or established financial product.
As for the impact on consumers, the lower prices could potentially lead to more affordable options for popular dishes like burgers and BLTs. However, it's important to keep in mind that these price changes are part of the broader market trends and may not be a consistent indicator of long-term pricing.
