# Pig outlook: Lean hog futures prices trending up
						 | The Pig Site

> February lean hogs fell $1.775 to $83.00 on heavy profit-taking after a six-week high. Mexico's Economy Ministry opened anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations into US pork leg and shoulder imports, covering 2022 to 2024.

## Why it matters

The Mexican probe could lead to new duties on US pork, reducing export demand and pressuring US hog prices. Near-term futures remain in an uptrend despite the profit-taking.
