August lean hog futures (HEQ25) saw a profit-taking setback late last week after hitting a contract high of $ 113.375 a hundredweight on June 17 .

The hog market bulls have faded, technically, as a price uptrend on the daily bar chart has at least temporarily been negated.

Pork cutout value ( KMZ25 ) and the CME Lean Hog Index are presently at their highest levels in almost three years , despite the relatively larger U.S. hog herd.
