Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View The report predicts that the hog market will experience a period of oscillatory adjustment. The supply of hogs is expected to increase gradually until December, making it difficult for hog prices to rise significantly. However, the price difference between 150Kg hogs and standard hogs is expected to strengthen seasonally, which will support hog prices to some extent. Given that the LH2509 contract is basically at par with the spot price and short - term price fluctuations are limited, the report suggests a wait - and - see approach [4]. 3. Summary by Section Market Dynamics - On July 16, the registered hog warehouse receipts were 444 lots. - The short - term spot price has limited room for further decline, and the LH2509 contract is oscillating and adjusting. - The main contract (LH2509) added 1,125 lots in positions today, with approximately 69,000 lots held. The highest price was 14,250 yuan/ton, the lowest was 14,000 yuan/ton, and it closed at 14,010 yuan/ton [2]. Fundamental Analysis - From the perspective of the inventory of breeding sows, the supply of hogs is expected to increase monthly from March to December, but the increase is limited. Based on piglet data, the hog slaughter volume will generally increase in the second and third quarters of 2025. The demand in the second half of the year is better than that in the first half. - Historically, the fat - to - standard price difference may strengthen oscillatory. - The bearish logic in the market includes slow and difficult weight reduction in the breeding sector, continuous increase in subsequent slaughter volume, and limited demand support for hog prices as the second and third quarters are not peak consumption seasons. The bullish logic includes the potential for an increase in frozen product inventory, strong resilience of spot prices, and the fact that although the subsequent slaughter volume will increase, the increase is limited, and the third and fourth quarters are gradually entering the peak consumption season for hogs [3]. Strategy Suggestion - The view is oscillatory adjustment. - The core logic is that hog slaughter volume may increase monthly until December, making it difficult for prices to rise significantly due to sufficient supply. The price difference between 150Kg hogs and standard hogs is expected to continue to strengthen seasonally, which will support hog prices. Since the LH2509 contract is basically at par with the spot price and short - term price fluctuations are limited, it is recommended to wait and see [4]. Market Overview - National hog slaughter price on July 16 was 14.43 yuan/kg, down 0.11 yuan/kg or 0.76% from the previous day. - Futures prices of various contracts declined on July 16 compared to the previous day, with the 09 contract down 240 yuan/ton or 1.68%. - The main contract basis in Henan increased by 180 yuan/ton or 50% to 540 yuan/ton [6].
