Analysts say Chinese live-hog futures have rebounded, particularly in deferred contracts, as October sow-herd declines accelerated amid deep losses in hog finishing and falling piglet prices. However, planned November marketings remain higher month over month, slaughter weights are elevated, frozen-pork stocks are high, and weak consumption continues to weigh on the spot market.
Accelerating sow liquidation could reduce future hog supply and support deferred prices, while ample near-term marketings and weak demand continue to pressure spot and nearby markets.
