The market set back to trade lower on the day into the mid-session with talk that the rally yesterday was a bit overdone. The lower trade in loins and pork cut-out late yesterday added to the negative tone. The lack of a premium of futures to the cash market helped to provide some support for February hogs relative to April. Cash hogs traded steady to $1.00 higher. A warmer Midwest forecast into next week was also seen as a negative factor to help pressure with talk that any hogs backed-up from the weather would move on the market. Weight data, however, suggests that producers are current with marketings. The CME Lean Hog Index as of January 23rd came in at 87.78, up from 87.00 the previous session.
