						 | The Pig Site

> February lean hog futures rose $2.375 to $81.375 on Wednesday, a two-week high, on short covering and bargain buying, though cash hog prices kept declining. South Korea raised its African Swine Fever alert to serious after an outbreak on a farm in Danjin, with 1,423 pigs culled and about 140 related farms under watch.

## Why it matters

ASF in a major Asian pork producer can trim import demand and push more pork supply onto markets, supporting weakness in US hog and feed-linked prices. The futures rebound is short-term and tied to cash prices stabilizing.
