About this market
What is KXHOGS Lean Hogs?
KXHOGS covers lean-hog price ladders — a thinner agricultural market where USDA reports and packer demand move a small set of active strikes. AymarData has been recording the KXHOGS series since 2026-10-01 and holds 16.5K events so far — about 660 a day. History is forward-only; we record live and do not backfill Kalshi.
Volume is modest compared with crypto or equity series, so spreads are wider and individual trades move the book. That thinness is useful research material: you can see how a niche Kalshi market absorbs scheduled ag data.
Use KXHOGS as a small-market control next to oil and gas: same schema, much less liquidity, so quote pulls and single-trade jumps are easier to isolate.
What moves KXHOGS
- USDA inventory and slaughter reports
- Packer margins and cash-hog bids
- Feed-cost and corn-price moves that change expected supply
