The Swine Times Trade Rec 2/12

by

Hello hog traders

We are running out of time on the Feb-Aug spreads. We need to roll the G into the J.  That spread traded as wide as 9.50 last week. Its above 8 this am. Feb remains a slight discount to cash, so we could see a jump here into the high 7’s on the spread.  For purposes of this newsletter we are going to roll that spread on a break above at -7.90  We still believe J will run on the Q. China is burning through pork reserves and will be in our market for a while.   Also, take a look at June Oct bull spreads. That will be our next trade.

RECOMMENDATION:

SELL 1 UNIT OF FEB HOGS

BUY 1 UNIT OF APRIL HOGS

 

THIS WILL LEAVE YOU:

LONG 2 UNITS OF APRIL HOGS

SHORT 2 UNITS OF AUG HOGS
