> On November 13, hog futures and hog-farming stocks in China rose together, with the far-month contracts leading.

## Why it matters

The futures rebound reflects expectations of sow herd reduction, but spot supply remains heavy, so the gains are unlikely to pass through to feed demand soon. Farm losses may keep hog-feed buying cautious.
