The current price increase is mainly due to pre - Spring Festival stocking demand, but the price increase of the 03 futures contract is expected to be limited. It is recommended to consider building long positions in the far - month 5 - contract on dips, and to remain on the sidelines for arbitrage and options trading [17] Summary by Directory Part 1: Logical Analysis and Trading Strategies 1. Spot Analysis - This week, the average price of eggs in the main producing areas was 3.7 yuan/jin, up 0.5 yuan/jin from last Friday, and the average price in the main selling areas was 3.95 yuan/jin, up 0.55 yuan/jin from last Friday. The national egg market continued to rise driven by Spring Festival stocking. The price increase strengthened farmers' reluctance to sell and pressure on inventory, but weak downstream demand limited the price increase space. After reaching a high, the price in the producing areas stabilized with narrow - range adjustments [5] 2. Supply Analysis - Affected by pre - Spring Festival stocking demand, the egg price rose rapidly, and the market's bullish expectation increased. The shipment volume in the producing areas increased significantly. According to Zhuochuang data, the slaughter volume of laying hens in the main producing areas in the week of January 23 was 16.27 million, a 5% decrease from the previous week, and the average slaughter age was 490 days, 5 days more than the previous week. In December, the national inventory of laying hens in production was 1.344 billion, a decrease of 80 million from the previous month, a 5% year - on - year increase, and lower than expected. The monthly hatching volume of laying hen chicks in the sample enterprises monitored by Zhuochuang Information in December was about 39.59 million, with little change month - on - month and a 13.9% year - on - year decrease [10] 3. Cost Analysis - The feed cost changed little during the week. As of January 22, the corn price was around 2370 yuan/ton, the soybean meal price dropped to 3180 yuan/ton, and the comprehensive feed cost was about 2613 yuan/ton, equivalent to about 2.87 yuan/jin for eggs. The futures price increase at the beginning of the week drove up the corn price in the northern port and Northeast producing areas. The corn price in North China continued to fluctuate, and the price in the selling areas rose slightly. As of January 15, the average weekly profit per jin of eggs was 0.44 yuan/jin, up 0.31 yuan/jin from the previous week. On January 16, the expected profit of laying hen farming was - 13.63 yuan/feather, a decrease of 0.51 yuan/jin from the previous week [13] 4. Demand Analysis - At the beginning of the week, the Spring Festival stocking led to a concentrated release of demand, and the sales volume in the selling areas increased steadily. In the middle and late weeks, the sales growth slowed down. The overall demand was good during the week, and the sales volume in the selling areas increased month - on - month. As of the week of January 23, the sales volume of eggs in the national representative selling areas was 7210 tons, a 2.3% decrease from the previous week, and it was at a relatively high level in the same period over the years. Due to the continuous increase in egg prices, farmers' losses decreased, and they mostly sold their goods to lock in profits. With the approach of the Spring Festival, the demand from multiple channels increased, and the inventory in the production and circulation links decreased significantly and was currently at a low level. As of the week of January 23, the average weekly inventory in the production link was 1.02 days, an increase of 0.05 days from the previous week, and the average weekly inventory in the circulation link was 1.07 days, an increase of 0.02 days from the previous week. The vegetable price index and pork price rebounded slightly [16] 5. Trading Strategies - Trading logic: Considering the approaching Spring Festival, the overall sales are fast, and the spot price has risen significantly. The current egg production is starting to reduce capacity, and it is expected that the capacity will continue to decline in the next few months. However, the 03 contract is a post - Spring Festival contract, and the upward space is expected to be limited. - Unilateral trading: Consider building long positions in the far - month 5 - contract on dips. - Arbitrage: It is recommended to remain on the sidelines. - Options: It is recommended to remain on the sidelines [17] Part 2: Weekly Data Tracking 1.
