> Analyst Jim Wyckoff notes that lean hog futures are trending higher and that traders expect a strong US hog market recovery next year. Weekly slaughter of 2.629 million head was 3.6% below last year, and USDA projects meat prices rising 5-6% in 2021, with pork up 7-8%. African swine fever was also reported in Romania.
