1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Short - term hog prices may fluctuate, and in the medium - to - long - term, hog prices may still hit new lows [4] - The reasons include sufficient hog supply in Q2, Q3, and Q4 of 2025, weak demand support in Q2 and Q3, increasing hog slaughter weight indicating inventory accumulation by the farming end, and potential price drops if concentrated weight reduction occurs [4] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Dynamics - On April 28, the registered warehouse receipts of live hogs were 705 lots [2] - The LH2505 contract is mainly about spot - futures convergence and delivery games. The far - month contracts are strongly supported by the expectations of limited subsequent slaughter increase, the consumption peak season in the second half of the year, and potential increases in far - month farming costs [2] - The main contract (LH2509) added 1071 lots in positions today, with a position of about 73,400 lots, a maximum price of 14,230 yuan/ton, a minimum price of 14,100 yuan/ton, and a closing price of 14,130 yuan/ton [2] 3.2 Fundamental Analysis - From the perspective of the inventory of breeding sows, the hog supply is expected to increase month - by - month from March to December, but the increase is limited. According to the piglet data, the hog slaughter volume will generally increase in Q2 and Q3 of 2025. In terms of demand, the first half of the year is the off - season, while the second half is the peak season [3] - Based on historical and current fundamentals, there is still room for the fat - standard price difference to decline [3] - Short - side logic: The farming end has not yet reduced the weight, which is actually bearish for the future market; subsequent slaughter volume is expected to continue to increase; Q2 and Q3 are not the consumption peak seasons, and demand support for hog prices is limited. Long - side logic: Slaughterhouses' inventory replenishment is not over, which can support hog prices; the spot price is firm, indicating that the supply - demand situation is not as loose as the short - side thinks; although there will be an increase in subsequent slaughter, the increase is limited, and Q3 and Q4 will gradually enter the hog consumption peak season; rising prices of corn and soybean meal may increase hog farming costs [3] 3.3 Strategy Suggestions - Short - term hog prices may fluctuate, and in the medium - to - long - term, hog prices may still hit new lows. The core logic is that hog supply is abundant in Q2, Q3, and Q4 of 2025, demand support in Q2 and Q3 is weak, the current hog slaughter weight is still increasing, indicating inventory accumulation by the farming end. If there is concentrated weight reduction later, hog prices may hit new lows. However, due to high uncertainty and weak short - term weight - reduction drive in the market, and the futures price being in a relatively reasonable range, it is recommended to wait and see for now [4] 3.4 Market Overview - On April 28, the national average hog slaughter price was 14.73 yuan/kg, a decrease of 0.05 yuan/kg or 0.34% from April 25. The average hog slaughter price in Henan was 14.82 yuan/kg, an increase of 0.05 yuan/kg or 0.34% from April 25. The average hog slaughter price in Sichuan was 14.35 yuan/kg, a decrease of 0.17 yuan/kg or 1.17% from April 25 [6] - Among futures prices, the prices of all contracts decreased compared with April 25, with the 05 contract having the largest decline of 0.99%, and the 09 contract having a decline of 0.14%. The main basis in Henan decreased by 120 yuan/ton or 14.81% from April 25 [6] 3.5 Key Data Tracking - The report presents data trends such as the closing prices of futures contracts in the past 180 days, the basis of the main hog contract in Henan, the price differences between the 05 - 07 and 05 - 09 contracts, etc., but specific numerical trends are not detailed in the text [14]
