The pork brief reports U.S. hog inventories about 2% below a year earlier, while total frozen pork stocks are 12% above year-ago levels. Frozen belly stocks fell about 35% in August, and wholesale demand remains well below last year.
The analysis concludes that a tighter pork market has not yet been confirmed.
Smaller hog numbers support prices over time, but high frozen pork stocks and weak wholesale demand offset that support. Hog prices may stay under pressure until demand improves.
