Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Policy interventions are frequent, potentially affecting the long - term supply of live pigs. Long - term strategic view is bullish, but short - to medium - term is still based on fundamentals. The policy bottom has emerged, but the market bottom may need a production cycle to form. The current fundamental situation is oversupply. Policy expectations, along with issues like disease and transportation, led to concentrated slaughter during holidays, causing a short - term decline in pig prices. Although there were signs of a bottom in the futures market, the weakening of second - fattening has increased supply pressure again [3]. 3.
