  • Lean Hog Futures Steady at Midday Amid Mixed Pork Market Signals
    January 20, 2026, 9:13 AM EST. Lean hog futures held steady near midday with minor fluctuations around the previous close. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) did not report a national base hog price Friday due to low volume, but the CME Lean Hog Index rose 11 cents to $80.50 on Jan 13. The pork carcass cutout value increased slightly to $93.70 per hundredweight, led by gains in loin and belly primal cuts. USDA's federally inspected hog slaughter hit 492,000 head Thursday, marking weekly growth above last year's level. February hog futures stood at $87.90, slightly up, while April contracts dipped marginally. Markets will close Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This reflects cautious trading and mixed signals in U.S. pork supply and demand.
