ANALYST: HOG MARKET TO REMAIN RESILIENT DESPITE TARIFF WOES –

The hog market experienced a brief downturn this month following U.S.-China trade talks, but good opportunity may be ahead. Analysts say the spread of ASF in China will eventually force Chinese to import pork from the U.S. “(The Chinese) have lost more animals (to ASF) than the U.S. grows (annually),” said John Payne, senior futures and options broker with Daniels Trading in Chicago. “They can only ration for so long.” (FarmWeekNow)
