Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The current high laying - hen inventory and lack of over - culling of old hens result in a high - production situation, which, combined with the post - holiday seasonal decline in consumption, is expected to keep the egg supply - demand in a loose state and suppress near - month contracts. The post - holiday drop in spot prices also affects the futures market. However, continuous losses reduce market restocking enthusiasm, which is beneficial for long - term prices. Overall, short - term near - month contracts are restricted by high - production pressure and falling spot prices, while far - month contracts may perform better due to the logic of production capacity reduction [6]. - For near - month contracts, a bearish trading strategy is recommended, and attention should be paid to the number of old hen culls [6]. 3.
