The national frozen product inventory rate was 14.88%, down by 0.06 percentage points [2]. - The recent cold wave caused disruptions in pig transportation, leading to increased prices in regions like Northeast China. The sentiment among farmers to hold onto pigs has strengthened, and there is a rise in secondary fattening and restocking activities, further supporting pig prices [2].

However, domestic demand remains weak due to cautious purchasing by deep processing and feed enterprises, leading to a stable acquisition price [3]. - The soybean meal prices are rising due to increased import costs and tight supply ahead of the holiday season [3]. - The price of natural rubber was 14625 yuan/ton, down by 1.35%.
