Report Summary 1. Report Information - Industry: Eggs [1] - Date: November 24, 2025 [2] 2. Core Viewpoints - The spot market for eggs weakened continuously this week and then stabilized. The egg prices in the two major producing regions of Hubei and Hunan, which led the previous rebound, have been falling since last week until mid - week. The red eggs in the north were relatively balanced in supply and demand but also weakened under the influence of the powder eggs. The national market prices stabilized on Friday, and market sentiment improved to some extent. [8] - In December, the demand for eggs will gradually enter the peak season with the expectation of double - holiday stocking. The decline in the price of culled chickens indicates that the culling rhythm is progressing orderly. The downside of egg prices should not be overly underestimated, while the upside space depends on market digestion and sales. The trend is unclear, and egg prices are expected to stabilize at a low level next week. [8] - In the futures market, the main contract fluctuated at a low level this week without a clear direction. The 01 contract fell below 3200 points, close to historical lows, attracting some bottom - fishing funds. However, compared with the end of 2016 and 2019, the current spot price is lower. From the perspective of basis, although it is close to the absolute price low, there are risks in going long. The futures market is expected to bottom out and wait for the spot price to rebound. [8] - The longer the egg price remains low in the fourth quarter, the greater the probability and elasticity of a reversal in the first quarter and second quarter of next year. [8] 3.
