 Seems better domestic and international demand is surfacing for pork, but traders are not convinced it will continue. The National Direct Afternoon Hog Report showed cash up $1.18 yesterday. Cutout value showed gains with prices up $1.08. That may provide some reason for traders to buy the market for short-term trade, resulting in a bounce here today. We do expect cash hogs to be higher and futures higher today. We expect cash cattle trade to be steady with futures mixed. This is the American Ag Network.
