Friday’s Commitment of Traders data showed managed money adding 8,365 contracts back to their net short position in lean hog futures and options during the week of August 18. That took their net short to 23,486 contracts.

USDA’s pork carcass cutout value was back up $1.93 in Monday’s AM report, at $99.89. The butt and ham were the only primals reported lower, with the belly leading the charge higher, up $8.89. USDA estimated federally inspected hog slaughter for last week at 2.366 million head.
