# Hog Futures Market Is Buffeted by U.S. Pork Export Concerns. Can Bullish Domestic Fundamentals Save the Day?

> Lean hog futures have traded sideways after a strong early-March rebound as traders weigh domestic supply and demand against reduced US pork exports. China imposed a 10% tariff on US farm goods including pork, and US pork export sales fell to a new marketing-year low. China has historically taken a large share of US frozen swine carcass exports.

## Why it matters

Lost access to Chinese demand for US pork and carcass products reduces export outlets, which weighs on domestic hog prices. Tighter domestic supply could partly offset this pressure.
