Nationwide hog prices are consolidating weakly as supply pressure is not yet absorbed and demand recovers only slowly. Hog futures and pork-sector shares have risen as early signs of seasonal demand, cold-weather slaughter recovery and farmer reluctance to sell appear, while analysts see a possible bottom in Q4 2026.
