African swine fever outbreaks are surging in parts of southern China after heavy rains, according to analysts and industry sources. China's hog herd shrank by about 40% last year, and the disease is slowing herd recovery.
Continued ASF losses keep China's pork supply tight, which supports hog prices and raises import demand for feed grains and meal.
After 177 past bullish disease events, HOGS moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.8% to +2.7%), and +0.9% over 20.
