CME Lean Hog Futures
This chart represents how we calculate the future value to properly price an option in the back months when there is no recent trade in the future for that contract. For more details see our Futures Accuracy page.. Comments and analysis can be found in our when appropriate..

How to read and use our charts.
Our charts show the value we assign for today and what the futures indicate to us the value will be one year from now, The scale on the right shows the difference between the two as a percentage of today's value.  This is the one year spread value. As the chart shows this value increasing or decreasing you can use a calendar spread depending on your outlook to take advantage of this. You can also use this as a guide line as to where the futures are going depending on your analysis of chart directions. Some charts have a "Far Futures" percentage. This is the collective average of all futures more than one year out for the last 9 days. This tells you if the futures more than one year out are higher or lower than expected based on projected values from the first year. Brokers can help with strategies to take advantage of these projected values. We, of course, are not responsible for any decisions a trader may make using these charts.
Special Notes
We did not use the Far out futures function on the Lean Hog future as we have with other futures. The future uses 1 or 2 extra months on a regular basis and the floor traders have done such a good job of integrating it into the overall picture we had to include it. Without it our chart looses its smooth curves and becomes very choppy. We are not writers so if you have comments (good or bad), requests, questions, or need an explanation of our charts Please contact us at:
