Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2) Core Viewpoint Currently, the laying hen inventory is at a high level, and the newly opened production pressure of the laying hens supplemented in the early stage is relatively large, resulting in sufficient egg supply. The continuous delivery of cold - storage eggs further exacerbates the supply pressure. Meanwhile, the terminal demand is weak, and the high - temperature weather makes the market cautious, leading to sluggish demand. The willingness of breeding enterprises to sell at low prices to reduce inventory increases, causing the spot market price to continuously fall short of expectations, and the breeding end remains in a loss state. However, with the start of school - opening stockpiling and the Mid - Autumn Festival procurement by food factories, demand is expected to pick up, which may drive up egg prices. From the perspective of the futures market, under the pressure of weak spot prices and high production capacity, the futures price generally maintains a weak trend [2]. 3) Summary by Directory Futures Market - The closing price of the active egg futures contract is 3065 yuan/500 kilograms, a decrease of 48 yuan compared to the previous period.
