Chicago soybeans fall 3.22% this week; lean hogs drop 9.34%
The scale of the lean hogs move dwarfs the grain declines, suggesting the livestock complex is reacting to something distinct from the softer soy and corn tape rather than following it. Soyoil's 5.45% drop outpacing meal points to pressure on the vegetable-oil leg specifically, a channel worth watching given its ties to biofuel demand narratives. Whether the livestock selloff is a one-week repricing or the start of a broader ag complex unwind is the open question.
