Today, Thursday, the quarterly Pigs and Hogs report will be released.

For many years, this report was known for causing large moves of the hog prices. Recently these reports conformed well with the estimates of the traders, and, thus, price moves were moderate. But you never know ...

Bst regards, Myrrdin

The report was neutral compared to trade expectations. Good news for traders holding short options. Option prices should move downwards due to reduced volatility.

According to seasonal charts , bear spreads for hogs should work well for the next couple of months.

I hold the LHG8-LHV7 for a while, and recently added the LHG8-LHZ7.

The CoF report was clearly negative regarding marketiings as well as placements. Fundamental data still suggests that we will see cash price at approx. $120 at expiry of August and October futures. It will be interesting to see if there is damage made to the charts, that will bring prices down below 111 in the short run.

Bear spreads in the hog market are doing well this year, as suggested by seasonal charts.

I hold the LHG8-LHV7 and the LHJ-LHZ for a while.

The first one should move upwards now according to seasonals, but I expect cash price coming further down, and the bear spread moving further upwards. (This spread also serves as a hedge for my LHG puts.)

The second one should move upwards according to seasonals until November.

Best regards, Myrrdin

I do not understand your question. Sorry - I am not a native speaker.

I am short-term bearish cash. That is why I do not enter spreads with a long position in the front contract (LHV).
