USDA's March Hogs and Pigs survey put the US swine herd at 77.6 million head, up 4% year on year and close to the December record. Market hog inventory came in above trade expectations, while the breeding herd was slightly smaller than expected, and June-August farrowing intentions were down 4.3%.
A larger market hog supply with stronger expected slaughter and foreign markets needed to absorb record output points to lower hog prices.
Setelah 159 peristiwa laporan bearish sebelumnya, Babi Hidup (Lean Hogs) bergerak median -0,2% selama 5 sesi (47% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -2,2% sampai +1,3%), dan +1,0% selama 20 sesi.
