$WHOG

Lean hog futures experienced slight fluctuations, with April futures up 47 cents while other contracts faced declines ranging from 25 to 77 cents. The USDA reported a national base hog price of $89.92 on Thursday. The CME Lean Hog Index increased by 24 cents, indicating some resilience in the market. Despite the positive movement in April futures, the overall trend shows weakness in the hog market. The expiration of April contracts next week could lead to increased volatility.
