# Pig outlook: Lean hog futures bulls work on price rebound
						 | The Pig Site

> Lean hog futures rebounded from their August low on hopes that a near-term bottom is in place. Hog supplies were rising seasonally, with Monday-Wednesday slaughter up 25,000 head. African swine fever was reported at a large commercial farm in Bulgaria, and the USDA lowered its pork production outlook.

## Why it matters

Disease reports in Europe and a smaller US pork outlook support hog prices, partly offsetting seasonal supply growth. Lower pork output tightens the near-term supply picture.
