Report Overview - Report Title: Pig Daily Report - Date: August 06, 2025 - Industry: Pig Industry 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View - In August, the supply of the pig industry is expected to increase as farmers' enthusiasm for selling pigs is high at the beginning of the month, and the utilization rate of secondary fattening pens remains high. Meanwhile, demand is in the off - season, so the supply - demand relationship will remain relatively loose, and pig prices may continue to face pressure. In the short - term, the nearby futures contract 2509 is following the decline of the spot price. In the medium - to - long - term for the far - month contracts, the pig supply will increase slightly, and contracts 2511 and 2601 are in the peak demand season, so their prices may show a volatile upward trend. Policies such as the anti - involution initiative and the high - quality development of the pig industry are beneficial to the long - term performance of pig prices [9]. 3. Summary by Section 3.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Review**: On August 5, the main pig futures contract 2509 opened flat, then rose, fell back, and fluctuated lower, closing with a negative line. The highest price was 13,980 yuan/ton, the lowest was 13,825 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 13,885 yuan/ton, up 0.04% from the previous day. The total open interest of the index increased by 863 lots to 173,912 lots. The average price of external ternary pigs nationwide was 13.93 yuan/kg, up 0.01 yuan/kg from the previous day [8]. - **Analysis**: On the demand side, the utilization rate of pens is high, the enthusiasm for secondary fattening is average, and terminal demand is weak due to hot weather. The slaughter volume of sample slaughtering enterprises on August 5 was 136,000 heads, 1,000 heads less than the previous day and 1,200 heads less than a week ago. On the supply side, the number of pigs for sale in August may increase month - on - month, and the pressure on sales remains. Overall, the supply - demand relationship is loose, and pig prices may be under pressure. In the futures market, the short - term nearby contract 2509 follows the spot price decline, while the medium - to - long - term far - month contracts may show a volatile upward trend [9]. 3.2 Industry News - As of July 31, the average profit per self - breeding and self - raising pig was 129 yuan/head, a week - on - week decrease of 33 yuan/head; the average profit per pig purchased as a piglet was - 82 yuan/head, a week - on - week decrease of 19 yuan/head [10][12]. 3.3 Data Overview - As of the week of July 31, the average market sales price of 15 - kg piglets was 527 yuan/head, 15 yuan/head lower than the previous week. - The average daily slaughter volume of sample slaughtering enterprises in the week of July 31 was 136,803 heads, a week - on - week increase of 1.99%. - As of the end of the second quarter of 2025, the national pig inventory was 424.47 million heads, a year - on - year increase of 2.2% and a month - on - month increase of 7.16 million heads (1.72%). - As of the week of July 31, the average weight of slaughtered pigs nationwide was 127.98 kg, a week - on - week decrease of 0.5 kg (0.39%) [18].

Report Information - Report Name: Polyolefin Daily Report [1] - Date: August 6, 2025 [2] Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The supply pressure of polyolefins persists, with new PE plants in Jilin Petrochemical, ExxonMobil Huizhou, and Guangxi Petrochemical planned to be put into operation in the third quarter, and the 900,000 tons/year production capacity of Ningbo Daxie Phase II expected to be launched, significantly impacting the supply side [5]. - The demand is weak and needs improvement, with the overall downstream operating load remaining at a low level. Although the agricultural film operation has rebounded from a low level, the demand follow - up is slow. The orders in the construction field are mediocre, and the operations of pipes and plastic weaving are at historical lows. The demand for daily injection - molded products has increased slightly month - on - month [5]. - It is expected that the demand will gradually emerge from the off - season in the second half of the month, but currently, downstream enterprises mostly maintain a low - inventory strategy, with limited motivation for active restocking [5]. - The policy - driven market has led polyolefins to follow, but the loose fundamental pattern will continuously restrict their upward space. After the digestion of anti - involution sentiment, polyolefins will return to a weak and volatile operation [5]. Summary by Directory I.

Report Summary 1. Reported Industry - The industry under research is soybean meal [1] 2. Report Date - The report was released on August 6, 2025 [2] 3. Research Team - The research team consists of Yu Lanlan, Lin Zhenlei, Wang Haifeng, Hong Chenliang, and Liu Youran [4] 4. Core Viewpoint - The domestic and foreign markets are diverging. The increase in the FOB quotation of Brazilian soybean exports has led to a steady increase in import costs. The view that the mid - term center of soybean meal will move up remains unchanged [7] 5. Content Summary by Section 5.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Quotes** - For the soybean meal 2601 contract, the previous settlement price was 3050, the opening price was 3052, the highest price was 3089, the lowest price was 3051, the closing price was 3065, with a gain of 15 and a gain rate of 0.49%. The trading volume was 573,708, the open interest was 1,487,930, and the open interest change was 24,470 [6] - For the soybean meal 2509 contract, the previous settlement price was 3021, the opening price was 3022, the highest price was 3047, the lowest price was 3016, the closing price was 3023, with a gain of 2 and a gain rate of 0.07%.

The trading volume was 119,894, the open interest was 630,336, and the open interest change was 4,891 [6] - **Market Analysis** - The US soybean futures contract in the external market fluctuated weakly, with the main contract at 995 cents. The Sino - US talks had no new additional news, and the previous tariffs were extended for 3 months, which depressed the demand outlook for US soybeans. The growth of the new - season US soybeans was good, with a good - excellent rate of 69% in the latest week, 70% in the previous week, and 68% in the same period last year. Only 5% of the US soybean planting areas were affected by drought, and the soil moisture had some tolerance. The expectation of a bumper harvest was gradually strengthening [7] - Although the US had reached trade agreements with many countries recently, including an agreement with Indonesia where Indonesia needs to purchase $4.5 billion worth of agricultural products from the US, China, the largest exporter of US soybeans, still maintained a 23% import tariff on US soybeans. It was expected that the export of new - season US soybeans would decline [7] - Domestic soybean meal was stronger than the external market, in a state of wide - present and tight - future. The import window for US soybeans was in the fourth quarter. As time approached, there were topics and themes for soybean meal to rise. However, China had started importing Argentine soybean meal, and the export tax rate of Argentine soybeans had recently decreased. Although the cost of imported soybeans in China was expected to rise in the fourth quarter, the room for imagination might be relatively limited [7] 5.2 Industry News - **USDA Crop Growth Report** - As of the week ending August 3, 2025, the good - excellent rate of US soybeans was 69%, in line with market expectations, 70% in the previous week, and 68% in the same period last year. The flowering rate was 85%, 76% in the previous week, 85% in the same period last year, and the five - year average was 86%. The pod - setting rate was 58%, 41% in the previous week, 57% in the same period last year, and the five - year average was 58% [10] - **USDA Export Inspection Report** - As of the week ending July 31, 2025, the US soybean export inspection volume was 612,539 tons, higher than expected. The previous market forecast was 250,000 - 460,000 tons, 427,734 tons in the previous week (revised from an initial value of 409,714 tons). The export inspection volume to the Chinese mainland was 0 tons. As of the week ending August 1, 2024, the US soybean export inspection volume was 266,883 tons. So far in this crop year, the cumulative US soybean export inspection volume was 47,834,010 tons, compared with 43,037,528 tons in the same period of the previous year [10][11] - **Canadian Rapeseed Situation** - As of the week ending July 30, the good - excellent rate of rapeseed crops in Saskatchewan, Canada, was 67.84%. As of the week ending July 29, the good - excellent rate of rapeseed growth in Alberta was 60.3%. In Manitoba, due to a long sowing window, rapeseed was at different growth stages. Late - sown rapeseed was in the mid - flowering stage, and the earliest - sown rapeseed had fully set pods [11] 5.3 Data Overview - The report provides multiple data charts, including the ex - factory price of soybean meal, the basis of the 09 contract of soybean meal, the 1 - 5 spread of soybean meal, the 5 - 9 spread of soybean meal, the central parity rate of the US dollar against the RMB, and the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Brazilian real.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The decline of Zhengzhou sugar may be nearing its end as the long - position funds are actively shifting to the 01 contract, causing the 9 - 1 spread to weaken.

The bearish production data of Brazil's central - southern region in the first half of July suppressed the raw sugar price, but concerns about the decline in Brazil's production still exist, and there is a high possibility of a reduction in beet sugar production in the EU. Zhengzhou sugar's decline was mainly due to the long - position funds' shift to the 01 contract [7][8]. 3.2 Industry News - **China - Guangxi**: In the 2024/25 sugar - crushing season, the cumulative cane crushing in Guangxi was 4859.54 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 258.47 million tons; the output of blended sugar was 646.50 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 28.36 million tons; the sugar - making rate was 13.30%, a year - on - year increase of 1.22 percentage points.

The spot price of eggs continued to fall over the weekend. The adjustment in the peak season this year was greater than expected. The short - term market downturn may continue, squeezing the premium of futures. Although there will be at least one wave of price increases in August according to historical patterns, the expected target is lowered to 3.6 - 3.8 yuan. It is not recommended to buy the dip in the 09 contract in the short term.

Rapeseed oil has sufficient near - term supply but fewer far - month purchases. Soybean oil inventory may increase in the short term but is optimistic in the long term due to biodiesel policies. The spot basis of the three major oils has limited room for significant downward adjustment in the later period. It is advisable to buy far - month basis appropriately. The three major oils may adjust in the short term, but the adjustment space is limited. In the medium and long term, buy on dips [8] Group 3: Industry News - Malaysian palm oil exports in July were 896362 tons, a 25.0% decrease from June.

The output in July increased to 330,000 tons compared with the forecast. The operating rate of polysilicon increased slightly, and the production increase capacity of organic silicon was limited in the short term. The monthly supply and demand of industrial silicon remained in a loose pattern [4] - Market sentiment cooled down, and the trends of previous varieties in the same sector had diverged. Industrial silicon lacked the implementation of clear stimulus policies. The spot price rose and then fell again. After the futures entered the daily short - term trend, it stopped falling in the short term. The strengthening of coking coal and coke prices on the cost side drove a rebound, but the rebound space of futures was limited due to the lack of major drivers [4] Market News - On August 5, the number of futures warehouse receipts on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange was 50,806 lots, with a net increase of 494 lots compared with the previous trading day [5] - Xingfa Group stated that the actual production capacity of its DMC was about 300,000 tons/year. The increase in DMC price had a positive impact on the company's organic silicon business segment. If only considering the production capacity factor, for every 1,000 yuan/ton increase in the organic silicon price, it was expected to increase the company's annual profit by about 3 billion yuan [5]
