Hog futures continue to trade lower into Thursday's noon hour. Traders simply desire to see steady and stable support and will need to see that develop before they'll likely lend the contracts any more support. Thursday’s Supply and Demand report showed a mixed outlook for the hog and pork markets of 2026. Pork production for 2026 was decreased by 300 million pounds as slaughters have been lighter than originally anticipated and the latest Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report showed that farrowing intentions are lighter for the rest of the year.
