# Mostly Spread Trading in Lean Hogs - Archer Financial Services

> Archer Financial Services says October lean hogs are the long leg of hog spreads and cattle/hog spreads. Hog slaughter is rising while cash hog and pork prices are steadily declining, and pork imports are above year-ago levels. Beef prices are also trending down, and the firm sees a poor outlook for better hog prices.

## Why it matters

Rising slaughter and imports point to ample pork supply, which pressures hog prices. Beef weakness could also reduce pork's relative demand.
