# What is going to happen to the hog market?

> An analyst says recent large drops in wholesale pork cut values and hog prices are not supply-driven, since slaughter and pork output have run close to forecasts. He attributes the weakness mainly to exports, which were down 4.8% year on year in July and have been a drag on wholesale demand all year. He also notes USDA's export data reporting has been delayed.

## Why it matters

Weaker export demand for pork cuts into wholesale value and hog prices, and this drag is expected to persist, though to a smaller degree.
