Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The price of the main May contract of eggs rose significantly today, with a maximum increase of 3.37% to over 3,525 yuan/ton. The position of the May contract increased instead of decreasing as the limit on positions approached before delivery. On the one hand, the recent increase in feed costs has raised the price center, and the average price of eggs in the main producing areas has recently risen to 3.3 yuan/jin. On the other hand, the market has been moving goods well recently, so the willingness to place buy orders has increased. However, considering the current situation, the current fundamental supply is relatively loose, and the increase in the May contract today is too large. Considering that the trading time for the May contract is limited as the limit on positions approaches in the future, funds may also close their positions in advance. Therefore, it is not recommended to chase the rise in eggs [8]. Group 3: Summary by Directory 1.
