Market Logic - In the short - term, egg prices operate in a low - level range, and attention should be paid to downstream consumption and inventory changes; in the medium - term, the supply pressure of eggs has not been fully released, and the continuous upward momentum of the spot is limited; in the long - term, the continuous expansion of egg - laying hen farming scale may limit the upward space driven by chicken culling [3] 3.3.4. Trading Strategy - Previously, it was continuously suggested to pay attention to the trading opportunities of the near - month contracts to collect the premium after the price increase. Currently, it is recommended to wait for the confirmation of inventory accumulation again and then consider short - selling opportunities for the near - month contracts. In the medium - and long - term, it is necessary to focus on whether the chicken culling behavior driven by low prices can continue and whether the culling intensity can start the actual capacity reduction, and then determine the trading direction for next year. Currently, it is difficult to effectively clear the capacity before the second quarter next year, and the supply pressure still exists. Whether the second quarter can be a turning point depends on the chicken culling situation in the first quarter [3]
