China’s hog futures rose for a second consecutive trading day on November 9, with the main January contract briefly gaining nearly 3%. The report attributed the rebound mainly to futures positioning and short-covering, while live-hog prices, producer losses and weak slaughter demand remained under pressure; it characterized the near-term outlook as bottoming and range-bound rather than a trend reversal.
The futures bounce has not been confirmed by stronger physical demand or tighter near-term supply, limiting its bullish significance for hog prices. Continued ample supply and weak consumption leave the market vulnerable to renewed pressure.
