By default, Squid does not make that decision. The OS does it for Squid.
You can try to force Squid to bind to a specific source address for
outgoing TCP connections using tcp_outgoing_address.

By default, there is no direct relationship between Squid listening port
address and the source address of outgoing TCP connections.
