Report Summary 1. Reported Industry - The report focuses on the egg industry [1] 2. Core Viewpoints - The spot market for eggs has stabilized after a period of slight weakness, with expectations of a small peak season in mid - to late December due to double - holiday stocking. Spot prices are expected to fluctuate slightly, with neither significant downward nor upward trends. Futures were relatively weak last week, especially after the egg price in Hubei adjusted downward on Friday. The decline of peak - season contracts is a correction of the previous influx of long positions. Although there are signs of a turning point in the laying - hen inventory, the impact on egg prices will be delayed. The near - month contracts are affected, and the market is currently dominated by short positions. New short positions can focus on the 02 contract, while long positions can consider far - month peak - season contracts after the correction [8] 3. Section Summaries 3.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - Market Review: Today, the national egg price remained stable. The average price in the main production areas was 3.05 yuan/jin, unchanged from yesterday, and in the main sales areas, it was 3.32 yuan/jin, also unchanged. The 01 contract fell 0.77%. The 2601 contract closed at 3092, down 24 or 0.77%; the 2602 contract closed at 2927, down 9 or 0.31%; the 2603 contract closed at 3008, down 12 or 0.40% [7] - Operation Suggestions: New short positions can focus on the 02 contract due to the post - holiday off - season and the lack of a clear upward trend in the spot market. Long positions can look for entry opportunities in far - month peak - season contracts after the correction, using rolling operations. The 01 contract should focus on the stabilization of egg prices after the decline, and its correlation with the spot market will increase in the future [8] 3.2 Industry News - Inventory: As of the end of October 2025, the national monthly inventory of laying hens was about 1.359 billion, a 0.66% month - on - month decrease, ending the previous continuous growth trend, but still higher than the same period in 2024 [9] - Replenishment: In October 2025, the monthly output of laying - hen chicks from sample enterprises was about 39.15 million, slightly less than in September 2025 and significantly less than the same period in 2024.
