生猪鸡蛋周报：供给压制生鲜价格关注旺季需求提振-20250811

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views - The Ih2509 contract for live pigs is in a phase of downward oscillation, with the price center expected to decline later. The supply of live pigs is increasing due to a persistently high inventory of breeding sows and improved production performance. Although demand is expected to seasonally increase in the second half of 2025, the impact of economic slowdown and changing consumer preferences may limit the boost. Therefore, the rebound space for pig prices is limited, and they will remain under pressure overall. However, due to policy disturbances, strong market sentiment, and the approaching peak season, short - term pig prices may be strong, but the upside space is limited under sufficient supply. It is recommended to wait for short - selling opportunities after the rebound. For industrial chain participants, breeding enterprises can sell futures for hedging to lock in sales prices, and food enterprises can purchase as needed and buy call options to control procurement costs while selling out - of - the - money put options to collect premiums [3]. - The jd2509 contract for eggs is also in a phase of downward oscillation, with the price center expected to decline. The inventory of laying hens is at a high level year - on - year, and supply pressure continues to weigh. Demand has seasonal changes within the year, but limited by the macro - economy and consumer preferences, the expected fluctuation range is limited. Considering cost and profit, the price of eggs is expected to remain at a low level. The demand for the 09 contract is in the declining phase after the peak season, and with high supply, there is insufficient support. It is recommended to short on rallies. For industrial chain participants, breeding enterprises can sell futures for hedging when egg prices are under pressure, and food enterprises can control procurement costs by buying call options and selling out - of - the - money put options [3]. Summary by Sections Live Pig Section - Supply Analysis - The inventory of breeding sows has been stable at around 40.5 million since June 2024, higher than the official normal level of 30 million, indicating persistent over - capacity. The supply in 2025 will be at a high level, and attention should be paid to the impact of the farmers' slaughter rhythm on short - term supply [14]. - The average slaughter weight has slightly decreased but remains high. With the approaching of the autumn and winter peak season, the price difference between fat and standard pigs may gradually increase, and farmers are expected to slow down the slaughter rhythm, so the weight is unlikely to decline significantly [15]. - Demand Analysis - Currently, demand is in the off - season, and the slaughter volume remains low. In addition to actual demand, secondary fattening and frozen product storage create short - term demand and provide support at low prices. Recently, most secondary fattening pigs are being sold, and attention should be paid to future changes in the secondary fattening rhythm [25]. - Cost and Profit Analysis - As of August 7, the breeding cost of large - scale farms using the self - breeding and self - raising model is 13.09 yuan/kg, and that of the purchased piglet model is 14.44 yuan/kg. Breeding enterprise profits are shrinking [35]. - The breeding capacity is relatively stable. Farmers are still cautious about the future market. Sow replenishment is mainly for replacement by large - scale farms, and the enthusiasm for purchasing piglets is average [36]. - Policy Analysis - The state's reserve purchase and release of pork regulate market supply and demand and ensure the stable operation of the live pig market. In the second - level early - warning range of excessive price decline, the National Development and Reform Commission will start the third batch of central pork reserve purchases this year [45]. - Spread and Basis Analysis - The report provides data on various spreads (such as 1 - 5 spread, 5 - 9 spread, etc.) and basis for live pigs, showing their changes compared to the previous week [8]. Egg Section - Supply Analysis - The supply of eggs is determined by the inventory of laying hens and the laying rate. Since the second half of 2024, the enthusiasm for replenishment has been high, so the number of newly - laid hens will be high until the third quarter of this year. Meanwhile, the number of culled hens is relatively limited, so the inventory of laying hens will remain at a relatively high level until the third quarter [64]. - In the short term, the laying rate is seasonally low, and the number of culled old hens has increased recently, but the overall supply is still abundant [65]. - Due to the weakening of feed prices, the breeding cost of eggs has decreased, currently around 3.2 - 3.3 yuan/jin [66]. - Demand Analysis - In the long - term, egg consumption is related to population structure, economic development, and consumer preferences, showing a steady growth trend in recent years. In the medium - and short - term, egg demand has obvious seasonality, with short - term peaks before traditional festivals. Currently, demand is seasonally rebounding, and food factories are starting to stock up [76]. - Although the improvement in supply and the rebound in demand support the stability of spot prices, the overall supply remains high, and the price of the JD2509 contract is expected to be under pressure as it is in the post - festival period [77]. - Inventory Analysis - Data on the inventory days of fresh eggs in the production and circulation links are provided, showing their changes over time [84]. - Spread and Basis Analysis - The report provides data on various spreads (such as 1 - 5 spread, 5 - 9 spread, etc.) and basis for eggs, showing their changes compared to the previous week [85].
