Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core View of the Report - The precious metals market is experiencing high - level fluctuations due to unclear inflation prospects. The price of precious metals is affected by factors such as the US inflation outlook, macro - data, and geopolitical situations. It is expected that precious metals will continue to fluctuate at high levels. If the precious metals maintain a bullish trend, gold has higher certainty due to its monetary and safe - haven attributes, while silver may have greater upside potential under the support of gold and abundant liquidity [3][8][72]. Summary According to the Directory 1. Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **Market Performance**: London gold traded between $3405 - $3330 per ounce, with a weekly decline of 1.86%. London silver traded between $38.7 - $37.5, with a weekly decline of 0.86%. Shanghai gold traded between 789 - 773 yuan, with a weekly decline of 1.52%. Shanghai silver traded between 9368 - 9135 yuan, with a weekly decline of 0.8%. The US dollar index fell to the 97 - 98 range, with a weekly decline of 0.33%. The 10 - year US Treasury yield rebounded from its previous low, closing at 4.32% on Friday [4]. - **Market Drivers**: The market is trading around the US inflation outlook. The unexpected PPI data has increased concerns about inflation and dampened interest - rate cut expectations, which has hindered the rebound of precious metals. The possibility of a缓和 in the Russia - Ukraine conflict has also put pressure on precious metals [4]. - **Trading Strategies**: For single - side trading, consider buying on dips. For arbitrage and options trading, it is advisable to wait and see [11]. 2. Macro - level Data Tracking - **US Economic Growth**: The US GDP growth in the second quarter was 3%, exceeding the expected 2.4%. However, a detailed analysis shows that the growth may be illusory. The significant decline in imports has inflated the net - export component, and the consumption and investment sectors are showing signs of weakness. Retail data is volatile, and consumer confidence and inflation expectations are also affected by tariffs [26][28]. - **PMI Indicators**: The US ISM manufacturing PMI in July unexpectedly dropped to 48, the lowest since October 2024. The ISM non - manufacturing PMI in June was 50.8. Tariffs have brought price pressures and led to a contraction in orders and employment [33]. - **Employment**: The seasonally adjusted non - farm payrolls in the US in July were 73,000, far lower than the expected 110,000. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2%. The employment data for May and June was significantly revised downward, causing market panic and raising questions about data credibility [38]. - **Inflation**: The US CPI in July showed a moderate rebound, and the PPI reached a high since February. The impact of tariffs on inflation may be further transmitted in the future. Although some tariffs have been postponed or cancelled, the risk of stagflation has not been eliminated [40][42]. 3. Precious Metals Fundamental Data Tracking - **ETF and CFTC Positions**: The report presents the trends of gold and silver ETF positions and CFTC speculative net positions, but no specific analysis is provided [46]. - **Gold Supply and Demand**: In 2024, the total global gold supply increased by 1% to 4,974 tons, and the total demand increased by 1% to 4,554 tons. Investment demand reached a four - year high, while jewelry consumption hit a record low. Central banks bought 1044.6 tons of gold for the third consecutive year. In 2025, the supply is expected to increase, and investment, central - bank purchases, and technology demand are likely to be positive factors, while jewelry demand may be under pressure [50]. - **Silver Supply and Demand**: In 2024, the global silver supply was 31,573 tons, an increase of 2% year - on - year, and the demand was 36,208 tons, a decrease of 3% year - on - year, resulting in a supply - demand gap of 4,634 tons. In 2025, the supply is expected to increase by 2% to 32,055 tons, and the demand is expected to decrease slightly, and the supply - demand gap is expected to narrow to 3,658 tons. The demand for silver in the photovoltaic industry, which has been growing rapidly, is likely to slow down [62]. - **Central Bank Gold Purchases**: Since 2022, central banks around the world have been actively buying gold, especially developing countries such as China, Poland, Turkey, and India. China has been increasing its gold reserves for five consecutive months since November 2024 [60].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The international soybean market has been performing strongly recently. The US soybean market is expected to have stronger support and may rise further if there is positive news. The South American market has limited short - term pressure, and the prices in Brazil and Argentina are generally firm [4]. - The domestic soybean meal spot market still faces significant pressure due to high soybean arrivals and high oil mill operating rates. The supply is expected to remain loose, and inventory pressure is likely to persist. The domestic rapeseed meal has risen significantly due to policy factors and is expected to remain strong if policies do not change much [4][5]. - The trading strategies include a bullish stance for single - sided trading, M11 - 1 calendar spread long, expanding the MRM05 spread, and buying call options [6]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **International Market**: The US soybean futures market has been strong due to the bullish monthly supply - demand report. In South America, Brazil's soybean prices have risen slightly despite a small decline after the US soybean price increase. Argentina's soybean prices are also firm, and so are the prices of soybean meal and soybean oil in both countries [4]. - **Domestic Market**: The domestic soybean meal spot market has high pressure with abundant supply and limited demand improvement. The domestic rapeseed meal has increased significantly because of policy - related restrictions on Canadian rapeseed imports [4][5]. - **Trading Strategies**: Adopt a bullish single - sided trading approach, conduct M11 - 1 calendar spread long, expand the MRM05 spread, and buy call options [6]. 3.2 Core Logic Analysis - **US Soybeans**: The US soybean market has been strong due to the monthly supply - demand report. Although the yield per acre was raised, the planting area was significantly reduced, tightening the new - crop supply. The old - crop crush was also increased by 1 million bushels to 2.43 billion bushels, with high uncertainty. The US soybean may rebound in the short - term, and the support at the lower level is strong [9][11]. - **South American Markets**: In Brazil, soybean export prices have slightly declined, but the overall price has increased due to the US soybean price increase. The monthly supply - demand report slightly raised production, exports, and crush. The selling progress of farmers has improved, and the export target of 106 million tons is likely to be achieved. In Argentina, soybean prices are firm, and the pressure on exports has decreased [14]. - **Domestic Soybean Meal**: The domestic soybean meal futures market has been strong due to cost - side factors, but the spot market has high pressure. The oil mill operating rate has increased due to sufficient soybean supply, and the demand has changed little. The inventory remains high, and the futures spread is expected to weaken [17]. - **Domestic Rapeseed Meal**: The domestic rapeseed meal futures market has risen significantly due to the policy decision to impose a deposit on Canadian rapeseed imports after an anti - dumping investigation. The market may remain strong if imports from Canada are completely stopped [20]. 3.3 Fundamental Data Changes - **International Market**: The data shows the US soybean weekly sales, export inspections, monthly crush, and weekly crush profits. It also presents Brazil's monthly soybean exports and crush, Argentina's soybean exports and monthly crush, and foreign soybean basis prices [24][27][29]. - **Macro - factors**: Exchange rates such as USD/CNH, USD/BRL, and USD/ARS are involved, as well as international shipping freight rates. The freight rates from the US Gulf, Brazil, and Argentina to China have all decreased slightly [37][42]. - **Supply**: The data shows the import and weekly crush of soybeans and rapeseeds in China [48]. - **Demand**: The data shows the提货量 of soybean meal and rapeseed meal in China [51]. - **Inventory**: The data shows the inventory of soybeans, rapeseeds, soybean meal, and rapeseed + rapeseed meal in China [55].

Group 1: Report Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - This week, the national live pig prices showed an overall volatile trend, with limited overall market changes. The market is expected to remain in a state of relatively loose supply and demand in the future. On the futures side, the recent market showed a certain correction, but there is still support for the far - month contracts due to the relatively strong motivation for capacity reduction in the breeding sector [4]. Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Comprehensive Analysis & Trading Strategies Comprehensive Analysis - The live pig prices across the country showed a volatile trend this week. Large - scale enterprises had a relatively high enthusiasm for slaughter, while ordinary farmers had average motivation. Secondary fattening began to enter the market. The slaughter weight remained high, and the slaughter volume of large - scale enterprises increased month - on - month. The demand was average, with a slight increase in slaughter volume but also an increase in frozen product inventory and a decline in fresh - sales rate. The futures market was under pressure from the spot side, but there was still support for far - month contracts [4]. Trading Strategies - Unilateral: Adopt a short - selling strategy near the high for near - month contracts and a long - buying strategy near the low for far - month contracts. - Arbitrage: Implement the LH91 reverse arbitrage. - Options: Sell far - month put options [5]. 2. Data Chart & Logic Analysis Live Pig Prices - This week, live pig prices in various regions showed a volatile trend. In the Northeast, the price was 13.4 - 13.5 yuan/kg, up 0.05 - 0.15 yuan/kg; in North China, it was 13.77 - 13.83 yuan/kg, stable to up 0.1 yuan/kg; in Henan and Shandong, it was 13.83 - 13.92 yuan/kg, stable to up 0.15 yuan/kg; in East China, it was 13.9 - 14.35 yuan/kg, down 0.05 to up 0.05 yuan/kg; in Southwest China, it was 13.55 - 13.71 yuan/kg, stable to up 0.25 yuan/kg; in Central China, it was 13.71 - 14.1 yuan/kg, stable to up 0.3 yuan/kg; in South China, it was 13.27 - 14.99 yuan/kg, down 0.3 yuan/kg. The market supply pressure remained stable, and prices fluctuated within a narrow range [10]. Slaughter and Consumption Changes - **Slaughter**: The overall slaughter volume changed little this week. Large - scale enterprises had high enthusiasm for slaughter, while ordinary farmers had average motivation. Secondary fattening increased slightly. The slaughter weight increased slightly, and the price difference between large and small pigs rose, indicating a slowdown in the weight - reduction rhythm. The subsequent slaughter pressure still exists, but secondary fattening may have an impact. - **Consumption**: The demand was still average. The slaughter volume increased month - on - month, but the frozen product inventory also increased, and the fresh - sales rate continued to decline [12]. Breeding Profits - As of the week ending August 15, the self - breeding and self - raising profit was 28.85 yuan/head, down 16.28 yuan/head from last week, and the profit from purchasing piglets was - 157.05 yuan/head, down 22.91 yuan/head from last week. The breeding profits declined due to the general pig price trend and the strong performance of sows and piglets in the previous period [20]. Sow and Piglet Prices - **Piglets**: The price of 7 - kg piglets was 389 yuan/head, down 26 yuan/head from last week, and the price of 15 - kg piglets was 484 yuan/kg, down 30 yuan/head from last week.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Report's Core View - The overall trading strategy for the styrene industry chain includes a side - way consolidation for single - side trading, shorting the spread between styrene and pure benzene (going long on pure benzene and short on styrene) for arbitrage, and selling both call and put options. The price of pure benzene is expected to be well - supported in the third quarter due to potential inventory reduction, while styrene's price is highly influenced by its cost side [5]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategy 3.1.1 Trading Strategies - Single - side: Side - way consolidation - Arbitrage: Short the spread between styrene and pure benzene (long pure benzene, short styrene) - Options: Sell both call and put options [5] 3.1.2 Pure Benzene Analysis - Price: This week, oil prices were in a side - way consolidation, and pure benzene futures prices trended down. Sinopec's pure benzene listed price increased by 100 yuan/ton on Tuesday. Spot prices were firm, with Shandong's market being strong. The arbitrage window between Shandong and East China remained closed. - Supply: Since late July, new units of CNOOC Daxie and Jingbo have been put into operation, and some cracked units have restarted after maintenance, increasing the supply of petroleum benzene. With rumors of production cuts in coking plants in Hebei and Shandong, the expected shortage of crude benzene supply has eased, and the loss of hydrogenated benzene has decreased, leading to increased production. - Demand: The downstream of pure benzene has seen a slight increase in operation, but with compressed profits. The inventory of pure benzene and its primary downstream has decreased. A new 670,000 - ton/year styrene production unit using ethylbenzene dehydrogenation in Jingbo Sida Rui has been successfully put into operation, but its load is currently low. There is an expectation of inventory reduction in the third - quarter for pure benzene [5]. 3.1.3 Styrene Analysis - Supply and demand: This week, both supply and demand of styrene increased. Port inventory decreased, low - price transactions increased, and the market's replenishment strength increased. However, styrene production is still at a loss. There are maintenance plans for Guangdong Petrochemical and Xingpu Chemical in September. A new 670,000 - ton/year styrene unit in Jingbo Sida Rui produced qualified products on August 6 but has not been officially sold. - Price influence: The supply - demand fundamentals of styrene have limited driving force, and its price is highly affected by the cost side [5]. 3.2 Chapter 3: Weekly Data Tracking 3.2.1 Pure Benzene - Price: The price of pure benzene in North China is stronger than that in South China, and the regional arbitrage window remains closed. The spread between pure benzene and naphtha is stable, while the spread between pure benzene and styrene has widened [7][9]. - Supply: The operating rate of petroleum benzene has increased. According to Zhuochuang Information, the operating rate of petroleum benzene this week was 82.69%, a week - on - week increase of 2.01%. The operating rate of hydrogenated benzene has rebounded, and the loss has decreased [15][23]. - Demand: The downstream of pure benzene has seen a slight increase in operation, but profits have weakened. The inventory of pure benzene and its primary downstream has decreased [24][26][30]. 3.2.2 Styrene - Price: Port inventory has decreased, low - price transactions have increased, and the basis and calendar spread have strengthened. As of this Friday, the spot negotiation price of benzene in Jiangsu was 7290 - 7315 yuan/ton, and the negotiation prices for August and September were 7295 - 7325 yuan/ton and 7340 - 7370 yuan/ton respectively [34][35]. - Supply and demand: Both supply and demand of styrene have increased, but production is at a loss. There are maintenance plans for some enterprises in September. The 3S downstream has stable profits, increased operation, and rising inventory [41][46][48].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Report Core Views Industrial Silicon - The industrial silicon market is in a situation of both supply and demand booming, with short - term oscillations showing a strong tendency. The core contradiction lies in the sentiment and the expected changes in fundamentals. Before the large - scale factory's actual resumption of production, the market is expected to be strong with oscillations, and it is advisable to participate by taking long positions on dips. After the actual resumption of production, short - term operations can be considered based on valuation [4]. Polysilicon - The polysilicon fundamentals are bearish, but the consensus of non - selling below cost provides strong support for the futures price. The downward decline of polysilicon futures is limited, and there will be continuous positive news disturbances. It is recommended to buy on dips, with the price range referring to (48000, 55000) [52]. 3. Summary by Directory Industrial Silicon Weekly Report Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **Supply and Demand**: This week, the weekly output of DMC was 51,400 tons, a 0.39% increase; the weekly output of polysilicon was 29,200 tons, a 2.85% increase; the operating rate of primary aluminum alloy was 56.6%, a 1 - percentage - point increase, and that of recycled aluminum alloy was 53.9%, remaining flat. The weekly output of industrial silicon was 84,700 tons, a 1.50% increase. The number of open furnaces increased by 10. The social inventory of industrial silicon was 545,000 tons, a 0.37% decrease. It is expected that the demand for industrial silicon in August will increase to 385,000 tons, and the production will be about 370,000 tons, with inventory reduction in August [4]. - **Trading Logic**: The production of silicone and polysilicon has increased significantly recently, leading to a significant increase in the demand for industrial silicon. The cost of industrial silicon has increased due to the rise in the price of Ningxia refined coal and thermal coal. The core contradiction in the current industrial silicon market lies in the sentiment and the expected changes in fundamentals [4]. - **Strategies**: Before the large - scale factory's confirmed resumption of production, take long positions on dips. For options, there is no recommendation. For arbitrage, look for opportunities to conduct reverse arbitrage on the 11th and 12th contracts [5]. Chapter 2: Core Logic Analysis - **Market Review**: This week, the industrial silicon futures oscillated weakly, with the main contract closing at 8805 yuan/ton on Friday. The spot prices of industrial silicon showed mixed trends, with prices in Yunnan generally decreasing by 50 - 150 yuan/ton and prices in other industrial areas slightly increasing [8]. - **Downstream Demand**: The output of DMC and polysilicon increased slightly, and the operating rate of aluminum alloy increased slightly. The short - term operating rate of silicone is gradually increasing, and the output of polysilicon is also slightly increasing [11][14]. - **Industrial Silicon Production**: This week, the weekly output of industrial silicon was 84,700 tons, a 1.50% increase. The number of open furnaces increased by 10. If the large - scale factory in Xinjiang increases the number of open furnaces as expected at the end of the month, the production of industrial silicon in September will increase to 380,000 - 390,000 tons [20]. - **Industrial Silicon Inventory**: The social inventory of industrial silicon decreased slightly, while the factory inventory increased slightly. The social inventory was 545,000 tons, a 0.37% decrease [21]. - **Related Product Prices**: The spot prices of industrial silicon showed mixed trends, and the price of silicon powder weakened. The prices of DMC and its terminal products also weakened [29][33]. - **Raw Material Prices**: The price of Ningxia refined coal increased slightly [45]. Polysilicon Weekly Report Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies - **Supply and Demand**: In August, polysilicon enterprises plan to increase production significantly, with an expected output of 125,000 tons. The silicon wafer production schedule in August is basically the same as that in July, resulting in an oversupply of 15,000 - 20,000 tons. The factory inventory of polysilicon is 267,000 tons, and it is expected to continue the inventory - building trend in August [52]. - **Price Analysis**: The spot price of polysilicon has upward pressure in the short term, but it is difficult to decline significantly before the consensus of non - selling below cost is broken. The downward decline of polysilicon futures is limited, and there will be continuous positive news disturbances. The short - term price range is expected to be (48000, 55000) [52]. - **Strategies**: It is recommended to buy on dips, with the price range referring to (48000, 55000). For arbitrage, conduct positive arbitrage on the 2511 and 2512 contracts, with the target range referring to (- 1500, - 1000) [53]. Chapter 2: Fundamental Situation - **Polysilicon Price**: This week, the spot quotes of polysilicon manufacturers remained stable. The transaction prices of N - type re - feedstock and N - type granular silicon increased slightly [69]. - **Silicon Wafer, Battery, and Component Prices**: The prices of silicon wafers and batteries showed mixed trends, and the prices of components showed both increases and decreases. The prices of some silicon wafers remained stable, while some decreased slightly. The battery prices showed a downward trend in some cases but may increase in the future. The component prices in distributed projects increased slightly in some cases, while those in centralized projects decreased slightly [73][74]. - **Component Fundamentals**: Overseas demand has decreased, and domestic component demand is weak in the short term. The domestic component inventory is 34.5GW, showing a slight increase. The production schedule of component enterprises has increased slightly to about 45GW [82]. - **Battery Fundamentals**: The overseas demand for small - sized batteries has improved, but manufacturers are cautious about production scheduling.

1. Report Title and Analyst Information - Report Title: Lead Weekly Report: Weak Supply and Demand, Lead Prices Maintain Range-bound Fluctuations [1] - Analyst: Chen Hansong - Futures Practitioner Certificate Number: F03129697 - Investment Consulting Certificate Number: Z0020351 2. Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 3. Core Viewpoints - The lead market is currently in a state of weak supply and demand, with lead prices maintaining range-bound fluctuations. The consumption has not improved significantly, and the peak season performance is below expectations. Downstream enterprises only maintain rigid procurement, and the destocking of domestic social inventories is slow. However, the current domestic secondary lead smelters are all in a loss state, and the cost still provides some support for lead prices [4]. - Trading strategies include attempting high selling and low buying within the range for single-side trading, and temporarily observing for arbitrage and options trading [4]. 4. Summary by Directory 4.1 Chapter 1: Market and Logic 4.1.1 Trading Logic and Strategy - **Supply Side**: This week, the supply and demand of lead concentrates remained in a tight balance. The processing fee for domestic lead concentrates remained at 500 yuan/metal ton, and the weekly processing fee for imported lead concentrates decreased by 20 US dollars/dry ton to -80 US dollars/dry ton. The scrap battery market's scrap volume changed little, and smelting enterprises purchased on demand. The prices of lead-containing waste materials changed little compared to the previous period [4]. - **Smelting End**: The average operating rate of SMM's three-province primary lead smelters increased by 0.66% to 68.07% compared to last week. The SMM's four-province weekly operating rate of secondary lead was 40.97%, a decrease of 0.14% from last week. The operating conditions of secondary lead smelting enterprises were relatively stable compared to last week, and the production of some enterprises fluctuated slightly with the arrival of raw materials, resulting in a slight decline in the regional operating rate [4]. - **Consumption End**: The weekly comprehensive operating rate of SMM's five-province lead battery enterprises was 67.3%, an increase of 2.05% from last week. The operating rate of lead battery enterprises recovered this week because some enterprises that took high-temperature vacations last week resumed normal production, but some enterprises continued to take vacations, with a maximum vacation duration of 10 days. Therefore, the operating rate has not returned to the level of late July. Next week, as other enterprises' high-temperature vacations end, the weekly operating rate will continue to rise [4]. - **Inventory Data**: As of August 14, the total social inventory of SMM lead ingots in five regions reached 71,700 tons, an increase of 1,700 tons from August 11 and an increase of 600 tons from August 7. The LME inventory on August 14 decreased by 4,700 tons to 261,100 tons compared to August 8 [4]. - **Trading Strategies**: Single-side trading can attempt high selling and low buying within the range; temporarily observe for arbitrage and options trading [4]. 4.1.2 - 4.1.5 - The content mainly lists relevant data such as futures prices, price spreads, inventory data, and lead industry chain inventories, but specific data analysis is not provided in the given text [5][8][11][15] 4.2 Chapter 2: Raw Material End 4.2.1 - 4.2.2 Raw Material Supply - Primary - Lists data related to global and domestic lead ore production, lead concentrate imports, and domestic lead concentrate total supply and mine operating rates, but specific data analysis is not provided [21][25] 4.2.3 Raw Material Supply - Secondary - Mentions the prices of lead-containing waste materials and waste batteries, as well as the raw material inventory of secondary lead smelters, but specific data analysis is not provided [32] 4.3 Chapter 3: Smelting End 4.3.1 Global Refined Lead - Lists data on global refined lead balance, production, and demand, but specific data analysis is not provided [39] 4.3.2 Domestic Refined Lead Import and Export - Lists data on import and export profits and losses, import and export volumes, and net export volumes, but specific data analysis is not provided [46] 4.3.3 Primary Lead Smelting Enterprise Profits - Lists data on lead concentrate processing fees, smelting profits, sulfuric acid benefits, and silver benefits, but specific data analysis is not provided [48] 4.3.4 Primary Lead Supply - Lists data on the operating rate and production of primary lead smelting enterprises, as well as the production of electrolytic lead's main delivery brands, but specific data analysis is not provided [56] 4.3.5 - 4.3.6 Secondary Lead Supply - Lists data on the cost, profit, operating rate, and production of secondary lead enterprises, but specific data analysis is not provided [59][68] 4.3.7 Domestic Lead Ingot Supply - Lists data on domestic lead ingot total supply, primary lead production, secondary lead production, and refined lead net export, but specific data analysis is not provided [72] 4.4 Chapter 4: Demand End 4.4.1 Lead Batteries - Lists data on the operating rate of lead battery enterprises, dealers' finished product inventory, export and import volumes, and enterprises' finished product inventory, but specific data analysis is not provided [79] 4.4.2 Lead Alloys and Their Plates - Lists data on lead alloy prices, import and export of lead alloys and lead plates, but specific data analysis is not provided [82] 4.4.3 - 4.4.4 Automobiles, Motorcycles, Electricity, and Communications - Lists data on automobile production, export, production structure, motorcycle production, communication construction volume, and power engineering, but specific data analysis is not provided [85][88]

1. Report Title and General Information - The report is titled "Egg Weekly Report: Demand Improves Slightly, Egg Prices Stabilize" and is from Galaxy Futures' Bulk Agricultural Products research team, with researcher Liu Qiannan [1] 2. Core Viewpoints - Egg prices are currently at a low point in recent years. Although there is a slight improvement in demand, the supply - demand pattern remains "strong supply, weak demand". School - opening preparations may support prices next week [5] - Supply pressure is significant, with an increase in the number of newly - opened laying hens and a high inventory of cold - storage eggs. Demand is generally weak, and egg prices may continue to face downward pressure [18] 3. Section Summaries 3.1 Spot Analysis - This week, the average price of eggs in the main producing areas was 2.97 yuan/jin, up 0.11 yuan/jin from last Friday, and in the main selling areas it was 3.2 yuan/jin, up 0.12 yuan/jin. The price in the main producing areas was generally stable. The terminal demand improved slightly at the beginning of the week, but the price rebound was limited due to weak demand and increased supply. The egg price remained stable and weak in the second half of the week. The price of culled chickens fell this week as farmers' confidence was hit and they increased the slaughter [5] 3.2 Supply Analysis - From August 7 - 14, the national main - producing area's culled chicken slaughter volume was 14.42 million, a 5% increase from the previous week. The average culling age of culled chickens was 506 days, the same as the previous week [10] - In July, the national laying - hen inventory was 1.356 billion, an increase of 0.016 billion from the previous month and a 6.1% year - on - year increase. The monthly egg - chick hatching volume of sample enterprises in July was 39.98 million, a 2% decrease from the previous month and a 4% year - on - year decrease. Without considering delayed culling and concentrated culling, the estimated laying - hen inventory from August to November 2025 is 1.356 billion, 1.36 billion, 1.358 billion, and 1.351 billion respectively [10] 3.3 Cost Analysis - As of August 7, the corn price was around 2395 yuan/ton, the soybean meal price was 3008 yuan/ton, and the comprehensive feed cost was about 2579 yuan/ton, equivalent to about 2.83 yuan/jin for eggs.

On August 8, the expected profit of egg - chicken farming was 11.92 yuan/hen, a decrease of 2.02 yuan/jin from the previous week [13] 3.4 Demand Analysis - The egg price first rose and then fell this week. The sales volume increased at the beginning of the week but decreased later as the price reached a peak and the hot weather made storage difficult. As of August 14, the sales volume of eggs in representative selling areas was 7605 tons, a 1% increase from the previous week [16] - Due to high humidity, farmers sold eggs promptly, and the production - link inventory decreased. Traders maintained a fast - in, fast - out strategy, and the circulation - link inventory decreased significantly. As of August 7, the average weekly inventory in the production link was 0.92 days, a decrease of 0.17 days from the previous week, and in the circulation link it was 1.03 days, a decrease of 0.2 days from the previous week [16] - The vegetable price index rebounded slightly, and the pork price index changed little.
