Summary by Relevant Catalogs Industry Analysis and Outlook - Short - term Outlook: The supply pressure in the near - term is still being realized, and the downward cycle will continue in the first and second quarters. Due to the high inventory of fertile sows in the first half of 2025, the supply pressure will persist until April. The increasing single - yield MSY has partially offset the decline in the number of sows, leading to an increase in the number of piglets born and delaying the inflection point of commercial hog supply. The supply pressure of commercial hogs may continue until August. In addition, the weight of live hogs in March increased both month - on - month and year - on - year, and inventory needs to be digested [4] - Long - term Outlook: "Policy + loss" will drive production reduction, and the expectation will boost the far - month market first. Policy - driven production capacity reduction is supported by multiple meetings of relevant departments since 2025. Loss - driven production capacity reduction is due to the new low of hog prices in March 2026 and the resulting losses in breeding profits. It is estimated that the pressure of commercial hog slaughter may start to decline at the end of March 2026, but the situation at the piglet stage needs to be monitored [4][5] - Strategy Recommendations: For the unilateral strategy, in the first half of 2026, the pressure of high - level production capacity realization still exists. Pay attention to short - selling opportunities on rallies, and breeding enterprises can continue hedging. The third quarter may be the inflection point of the cycle bottoming out. In the fourth quarter, the production capacity reduction will be gradually realized, and the hog cycle will rise moderately, but the upside space is currently limited. Pay attention to long - buying opportunities below the cost line. For the arbitrage strategy, consider reverse arbitrage [5]
