Abstract

Hog prices in China are highly volatile and cyclical, in 2021 hog price has dropped down to below 10 yuan per pound, which has a huge impact on hog farmers and consumers. This study investigates the stabilizing effect of the newly listed hog futures on spot market in China. A static historical volatility model and GARCH model are adopted in this study. The data in this paper is from Wind and Security Research Centers. The results from static historical volatility model and time series techniques show the listing of hog futures leads to increased volatility of hog spot price in a short term.
