生猪期货与期权2025年11月报告:生猪:10月份猪价大跌后反弹,养殖户压栏惜售令春节前仍存担忧-20251103
Report Industry Investment Rating There is no relevant content provided in the given documents. Core Viewpoints - In October 2025, after a sharp decline, the pig price rebounded. However, farmers' reluctance to sell due to pressure on holding pigs still causes concerns before the Spring Festival. The group enterprises' volume reduction and price support, combined with the second - fattening support, have relieved the near - end pressure. But with a high basic inventory this year, there are still great concerns about the year - end pig price. [1][3] - The current open interest of the live hog index has reached a record high of 320,000 lots, with nearly 10 billion yuan of settled funds. The market is highly divided. The forward curve shows a contango structure, and the near - end futures price has a large discount to the spot price. The futures price reflects a certain pessimistic expectation of the year - end slaughter pressure. Given that the absolute price has fallen below the cash cost of some farmers, short - selling should be cautious. [3] - The reduction of live hog production capacity mainly occurs in two stages: first, reducing the slaughter weight, which was initially achieved in October this year mainly by reducing pressure on holding pigs and shortening the breeding time; second, reducing the capacity of breeding sows, which is driven by the passive elimination of breeding sows by farmers when the piglet slaughter incurs significant losses. [3] - Looking forward to the end of 2025, the feed sector lacks strong positive factors, and the continuously decreasing live hog breeding cost leads to a slow reduction of production capacity. The cyclical pressure of the sector is an important factor dragging down the pig price. The current industry is in the first stage of weight reduction, and there is still a long way to go before entering the second stage of reducing the inventory of breeding sows. [5] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 2025 October and November Review and Outlook - In the context of capacity reduction in October 2025, the industry as a whole started to reduce the slaughter weight. The hog - grain ratio has fallen below 5:1, and the piglet price has dropped to around 175 yuan per head. The rapid deterioration of breeding profits will drive the industry into the capacity reduction stage. [3][5] - The expected increase in feed imports after the smooth progress of the new round of Sino - US negotiations in October has limited impact on the near - end pig price. The current group enterprises still have room to reduce the breeding cost, but the average industry cost is still around 13 yuan per kilogram. [4] 2025 Fourth - Quarter Outlook - The futures and spot price trends are expected to remain at the bottom due to the lack of strong positive factors on the supply side. The 2601 contract is recommended to be observed, and it is advisable to buy the 2607 contract on dips below 12,000 points in the medium term. For options, a covered call strategy combination can be held. [5] 2025 October Live Hog Futures and Spot Price Review - In October 2025, the agricultural product index fell to a new low for the year, with the feed and breeding industry chain leading the decline. The live hog spot price broke through the support level and hit a new low for the same period in recent years, and the piglet price accelerated its decline. [8][15][18] - The feed price fluctuated and declined overall in October 2025. The low downstream frozen product inventory provided some support for the white - strip price, while the low meat - poultry price dragged down the pig price. [21][24][30] - From August to October in the third quarter of this year, the cumulative decline of the pig price exceeded 18%. [39] Live Hog Production Capacity and Slaughter Situation - The inventory of breeding sows is currently in the green and reasonable range, with a cumulative decline of about 1% compared to July 2025. The discount rate of culled sows increased in October, and the production efficiency per sow has improved. [44][45][46] - The slaughter volume is expected to continue to increase, but the growth rate may not be large. [52] Listed Pig Enterprises - In the first half of 2025, the overall profitability of leading companies expanded, but some turned to losses in the third quarter. [58] Near - End Supply - Demand Fundamentals - In October, the slaughter volume increased significantly, and the slaughter weight decreased month - on - month but remained at a high level year - on - year. The slaughter weight in the fourth quarter is the main factor affecting the spot price. [62][64][67] - The current monthly average profitability is at the historical median. The profit of purchasing piglets returned to near the break - even point in July, and the fattening loss continued to widen from August to October. [75] October Live Hog Futures Price Situation - In October, the live hog futures price reached a record low with increasing open interest. The live hog index hit a new low, and the open interest increased significantly both month - on - month and year - on - year. [77][78] - The futures - to - feed price ratio of live hogs on the market is close to the historical low level. The 2603 and 2605 contracts have fallen below the breeding cost. The near - month contracts lack confidence in the spot price, and the 2511 contract finally entered the delivery month with a large discount. [84][86][89]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core Views of the Report Soft Commodity Sector - **Sugar**: Global sugar supply surplus expectations suppress international sugar prices. In the short - term, ICE raw sugar is expected to remain weak. In China, although there are some positive factors, the medium - long - term pressure on Zhengzhou sugar prices remains, and the rebound space is limited [3]. - **Pulp**: The market risk preference is boosted, but the supply of wood pulp remains high, and the demand improvement is limited. The pulp valuation is not high, but the upward drive is weak, and the rise height may be restricted [4]. - **Double - offset Paper**: The improvement in demand for finished paper is limited, and there is supply pressure. Although there is some cost support, the price is difficult to rise significantly [6]. - **Cotton**: The tariff adjustment in Sino - US trade negotiations supports textile and clothing exports. However, the supply pressure in the northern hemisphere still exists, and the domestic cotton price is expected to fluctuate in a low - level range [8]. Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Sector - **Apple**: The new season's apples have smaller fruit sizes and lower high - quality fruit rates, which support the futures price. However, the lack of consumption growth restricts the upward space. The futures price is expected to fluctuate strongly [9]. - **Jujube**: The futures price has fallen from a high level. The inventory depletion speed has slowed down, and new jujubes are on the market. The futures price is expected to be in a shock - falling state [9]. 3. Summary According to the Directory First Part: Sector Strategy Recommendation Fresh Fruit Futures | Variety | Recommended Strategy | Main Logic | Support Range | Pressure Range | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Apple 2605 | Hold long positions cautiously | Smaller fruit sizes and lower high - quality fruit rates in the new season, the futures price center moves up | 7900 - 8000 | 9700 - 9800 | | Jujube 2601 | Short at high prices | High futures premium, there is pressure for the futures and spot prices to converge | 10000 - 12000 | 11000 - 11300 | [19] Soft Commodity Futures | Variety | Recommended Strategy | Main Logic | Support Range | Pressure Range | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Sugar 2601 | Short on rebound | Short - term rebound under the boost of good news, but new sugar is about to be listed, and the global supply - demand is expected to weaken | 5380 - 5400 | 5530 - 5500 | | Pulp 2601 | Short within the range | The valuation is not high, but there is still supply pressure, and the overall increase in finished paper prices is limited | 4800 - 4900 | 5200 - 5300 | | Double - offset Paper 2601 | Short on rebound | The cost support has increased slightly, but the demand still suppresses the price under high supply elasticity | 4100 - 4200 | 4400 - 4500 | | Cotton 2601 | Reduce short positions | The increase in new cotton production is slightly less than expected, and the Sino - US trade relationship eases | 13200 - 13300 | 13700 - 13800 | [19] Second Part: Market News Changes Apple Market - **Fundamental Information**: In September 2025, the export volume of fresh apples was about 70,800 tons, a month - on - month increase of 3.50% and a year - on - year decrease of 6.32% [20]. - **Spot Market**: The mainstream apple prices in the producing areas remained stable. The trading in Shandong was at its peak, and the acquisition in Shaanxi was in the later stage. The market arrival volume in the sales areas increased, and the sales of high - quality goods were good [20][21]. Jujube Market The physical inventory of 36 sample points was 9103 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.04% and a year - on - year increase of 109.22%. New jujubes have not been concentratedly harvested, and some merchants have started to purchase [22]. Sugar Market China has suspended the import of all syrups and premixes since October 27. The sugar production in India in the 2025/26 season is expected to reach 34.9 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 19%. The EU has raised the yield forecast of sugar beets [24]. Pulp Market As of October 27, the weekly pulp inventory in sample areas decreased by 1.58% month - on - month. As of October 28, the steam consumption of a thermal power plant in Baoding decreased, and the operating rate of household paper decreased [26]. Double - offset Paper Market As of October 29, the average theoretical gross profit margin of the double - offset paper industry decreased, and the cost decline was narrower than the revenue decline, resulting in a continuous decline in profitability [27]. Cotton Market In September 2025, Japan's clothing imports increased significantly. The tariff on textile and clothing exports to the US has been reduced, and the export competitiveness will be restored [28].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The overall trend of the non - ferrous metals sector is upward in the short - term, but there are fluctuations. The performance of different varieties within the sector varies significantly. The easing of Sino - US trade relations has led to a recovery in risk appetite, and the non - ferrous metals sector has shown a fluctuating upward trend driven by the strength of copper. However, geopolitical factors such as the G7's establishment of the "key mineral production alliance" may increase the impact on the supply, demand, trade, and investment of non - ferrous metals [11][12]. - The Fed's interest rate decision has an impact on non - ferrous metals. Although the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points in October and plans to end balance - sheet reduction in December, the uncertainty of a December rate cut has increased, causing fluctuations in the non - ferrous metals market [11][12]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 First Part: Non - Ferrous Metals Operation Logic and Investment Recommendations 3.1.1 Macro Logic - Sino - US trade relations have eased, risk appetite has recovered, and non - ferrous metals have shown a fluctuating upward trend driven by copper. The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points in October and will end balance - sheet reduction in December, but Powell's statement dampened the expectation of a year - end rate cut. The Bank of Canada cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and the Bank of Japan maintained its interest rate [11]. - The "15th Five - Year Plan" aims to promote key core technology research and develop emerging industries. China's industrial enterprise profits in September increased year - on - year, which is positive for non - ferrous metals. However, geopolitical factors such as the G7's key mineral production alliance may affect the non - ferrous metals market [12]. 3.1.2 Non - Ferrous Metals Strategy | Variety | Operation Logic | Support Area | Pressure Area | Market Judgment | Strategy | Recommendation Intensity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Copper | Supply pressure persists. A major mine accident has occurred, and domestic electrolytic copper production is expected to decline in Q4.

Alumina production capacity has decreased slightly, and the demand for recycled aluminum alloy is supported by tight scrap supply. | 20500 - 20800 yuan/ton; 2600 - 2700 yuan/ton; 20000 - 20500 yuan/ton | 21500 - 21800 yuan/ton; 3000 - 3200 yuan/ton; 21000 - 21200 yuan/ton | Aluminum oscillates strongly; Alumina oscillates and consolidates; Cast aluminum alloy oscillates strongly | Bullish approach; Short - term short; Bullish approach | +0.5/-0.5/+0.5 | | Tin | The processing fees of domestic tin smelters are temporarily flat, and the start - up rate has increased significantly. However, the raw material shortage problem is still serious. Demand has improved slightly during the peak season. | 260000 - 270000 yuan/ton | 290000 - 300000 yuan/ton | Oscillate strongly | Bullish approach | +0.5 | | Lead | The supply of recycled lead has failed to meet expectations, and the demand for lead - acid batteries has declined after the price increase. The import of crude lead has supplemented the raw material end. | 17300 - 17500 yuan/ton | 17800 - 18000 yuan/ton | Rise and then fall | Reduce long positions on rallies | +0.5 | | Nickel | The supply of nickel ore is strengthening, and the profit of nickel pig iron is declining.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Soybean Oil**: On Thursday, soybean oil showed a strong performance. Although Sino - US economic and trade negotiations are optimistic, the commercial import profit of US soybeans is negative, and the cost increase supports domestic soybean prices. With ample domestic soybean oil supply and the over - hanging shadow of palm oil production increase, soybean oil will mainly bottom - out and adjust in the short term. It is recommended to wait and see for the time being. The support level of the main soybean oil contract is 8050 - 8080 yuan/ton, and the pressure level is 8350 - 8400 yuan/ton [3]. - **Rapeseed Oil**: On Thursday, the main rapeseed oil contract continued to be weak. The fundamentals have no significant changes, and the rapeseed sector is still affected by macro - economic and trade policies. The Sino - US summit released positive signals, which is negative for supply - side production. The expected meeting between Chinese and Canadian leaders strengthens the expectation of relaxed rapeseed imports, pressuring rapeseed oil sentiment. The current rapeseed oil inventory is at a relatively high historical level, but the new supply is tightening, and the inventory is continuously decreasing. If there is no substantial relaxation of Canadian rapeseed import policies, the rapeseed sector is still optimistic in the medium - to - long term under the expectation of inventory reduction. For the main rapeseed oil contract, short positions should be reduced on dips. The support level of the OI main contract is 9350 - 9380, and the pressure level is 9900 - 9930 [3]. - **Palm Oil**: On Thursday, palm oil prices opened low and closed high, showing an overall weak trend. The over - expected production increase in Indonesia may offset the increase in biodiesel consumption, and the decline in international crude oil prices also weakens palm oil. As palm oil will enter the production - reduction season in November, the downward space is expected to be limited. In the short term, palm oil may bottom - out and fluctuate, and it is recommended to wait and see. The support level of the main palm oil contract is 8750 - 8780, and the pressure level is 9300 - 9350 [4]. - **Soybean Meal and Soybean No. 2**: On Thursday, soybean meal prices were firm. The Sino - US economic and trade negotiations are optimistic, and the export signal of US soybeans is positive, driving up CBOT soybeans. The export potential of South American soybeans is declining, and the cost end supports the price of soybean No. 2. The import cost of soybeans increases, and the oil mill's profit margin narrows. Soybean meal is expected to remain firm, and it is recommended to go long lightly in the short term. The support level of the main soybean meal contract is 2900 - 2930 yuan/ton, and the pressure level is 3050 - 3100 yuan/ton. The support level of the main soybean No. 2 contract is 3600 - 3650 yuan/ton, and the pressure level is 3750 - 3810 yuan/ton [4]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: On Thursday, rapeseed meal prices rebounded slightly after the opening. The fundamentals have no significant changes, and it is slightly boosted by the rebound of soybean meal. The market is worried about the relaxation of Canadian rapeseed import policies. The current supply and demand of rapeseed meal are both weak, and the inventory is continuously decreasing. However, the demand in the fourth quarter is seasonally weak. Rapeseed meal is expected to fluctuate and consolidate, and it is recommended to wait and see. The support level of the RM main contract is 2280 - 2300, and the pressure level is 2450 - 2480 [4][5]. - **Corn and Corn Starch**: On Thursday, the prices continued to fluctuate weakly. The Sino - US trade negotiation results are in line with expectations, and the pressure of concentrated listing continues to suppress the market.

Report Highlights 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views - The post - holiday restocking enthusiasm of downstream industries exceeded market expectations, resonating with macro - level positives and amplifying market fluctuations. However, from a seasonal perspective, the demand growth rate of lithium carbonate may decline in the fourth quarter. The short - term price increase of lithium carbonate lacks strong sustainability. It is advisable to adopt a bearish approach on rallies. Upstream and downstream enterprises should consider futures and options selling hedging opportunities according to their risk management needs [4][5]. - The price of lithium hydroxide stopped falling and rebounded last week. With increasing demand, some lithium salt plants slightly increased production. Due to tight inventory and more提货量 from downstream and battery cell factories, lithium salt plants were reluctant to sell, and the market price is expected to recover following lithium carbonate [6]. 3. Summary by Directory First Part: Recommended Strategies for Lithium - Ion New Energy - **Futures and Options Unilateral Strategies** - For the lithium carbonate 01 futures contract, with strong supply and demand and continued spot market enthusiasm but potential future demand decline, it is expected to weaken in a volatile manner. Upstream enterprises should seize opportunities to sell and hedge on rallies. The support level is 68,000 - 70,000, and the resistance level is 82,000 - 83,000 [12]. - For the lithium carbonate 01 futures options, although the market sentiment is good, the upside space is limited. Selling call options at prices above 83,000 on the 01 contract is a strategy worthy of attention [12]. - **Arbitrage Strategies** - Buying spot and selling the 03 contract is recommended. The active period of the 03 contract falls in the off - season of demand, making it suitable as a short - position for cash - and - carry arbitrage [12]. Second Part: Changes in Spot and Futures Prices - **Lithium Carbonate Futures Price Changes** - The closing price of the lithium carbonate 1 - month contract was 81,900, with a daily increase of 2.99%. The trading volume was 514,455, the open interest was 483,478, the open interest increased by 52,304 compared to the previous day, and the number of warehouse receipts was 27,739 [13]. - **Changes in Spot Prices of the Lithium - Ion Industry Chain** - Relevant charts such as the latest spot price overview of the lithium - ion new energy industry chain, the average price of battery - grade lithium carbonate, and the average price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate are presented, sourced from SMM and Fangzheng Futures Research Institute [13][14].
