In the early morning today, hog prices were generally weak and stable. In the north, after a sustained rise in prices, terminal acceptance remained moderate. With externally sourced hogs gradually arriving at processing plants, local prices experienced some pullbacks. In the south, after a period of continuous weak adjustments, prices began to stabilize. The ongoing tug-of-war between supply and demand is expected to lead to frequent short-term price fluctuations, and regional price gaps may continue to widen.
