Core Viewpoint - In July, the national pig price experienced a pattern of initial increase followed by a decline and a slight rebound, primarily due to an oversupply caused by concentrated weight reduction in the breeding sector, with expectations of further supply increases and weak demand in August leading to a potential decline in prices [1][2]. Price Trends - The national pig price in July showed a "brief increase - high-level decline - end-of-month brief rebound" trend, with the highest price reaching 15.49 yuan/kg on the 3rd, a 3.96% increase from the previous month's peak, and the lowest price dropping to 13.92 yuan/kg on the 29th [2]. Supply and Demand Analysis - Supply Side: The breeding sector is expected to continue weight reduction operations in August, with an increase in supply anticipated due to the ongoing release of production capacity. Additionally, adverse weather conditions may increase the likelihood of pig diseases, further impacting supply [2][3]. - Demand Side: The demand for pigs is expected to remain weak in August due to high temperatures, which will hinder consumption, and the absence of holidays or other supportive factors [2][3]. Market Sentiment - The active weight reduction in the breeding sector, combined with summer heat suppressing weight gain, is likely to result in an average market weight of around 123 kg for pigs in August and September. After the weight reduction phase, there may be a temporary decrease in supply, providing a window for replenishment, particularly in northern regions [3]. Price Forecast - Overall, in August, with the combination of increased supply and reduced demand, along with limited support from secondary fattening, pig prices are expected to decline month-on-month, with an average price forecast of 14.23 yuan/kg, exhibiting a trend of rise-fall-rise, where the rising periods are shorter than the falling ones [3].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - This week, the spot market price of pigs continued to decline, with the national average price of standard pigs dropping by nearly 1 yuan/kg in the past two weeks. The market sentiment has weakened overall. Although there was a slight price increase over the weekend due to some reluctance to sell among pig farmers, the demand was insufficient [5]. - The price of piglets remained stable this week. Since the end of June, the price of piglets has been rising because current piglet purchases can still ensure pigs are ready for sale before the Spring Festival, which has increased the enthusiasm for piglet purchases [5]. - The sample slaughter volume decreased this week, and the downstream demand was weak. The losses of slaughterhouses widened, and the negative feedback from the demand side on live pig prices increased. The consumption in July - August is expected to remain sluggish, and the key factor affecting prices is still supply [6]. - The feed cost increased slightly this week, while the profit of pig farmers decreased significantly. The profit of the pig - purchasing and fattening model has turned negative, and the losses of slaughterhouses continue [6]. - Overall, the supply in July is not expected to increase significantly. The supply in the second half of July may decrease compared to the middle of the month, which is conducive to price stabilization. However, the demand is in a seasonal off - peak, and the negative feedback on price increases persists. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [7]. 3.

Report Summary Report Title - The report is titled "Pigs: Waiting for End-of-Month Reality Confirmation" and was released on July 18, 2025 [1] Core Viewpoints - Currently in the off - season of consumption, downstream digestion capacity is limited. Although large - scale farms haven't increased supply, some small - scale farmers' willingness to sell has risen, causing a rapid decline in spot prices. This confirms that the previous price increase was mainly due to inventory - building sentiment. The market expects a price increase from late July to early August, which may lead to more concentrated sales. It's necessary to wait for end - of - month spot price confirmation and pay attention to reserve policy trends. In August, the purchase of piglets will enter the off - season, and the 03 contract will enter the piglet pricing period, where production capacity and cost logic may have an impact. Stop - loss and take - profit should be noted. The short - term support level for the LH2509 contract is 13,500 yuan/ton, and the pressure level is 15,000 yuan/ton [5] Industry Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report Data Summary Spot and Futures Prices - Spot prices: Henan is 14,480 yuan/ton (down 150 yuan/ton), Sichuan is 13,750 yuan/ton (down 150 yuan/ton), and Guangdong is 15,790 yuan/ton (down 300 yuan/ton) - Futures prices: The price of the pig 2509 contract is 14,060 yuan/ton (up 50 yuan/ton), the pig 2511 contract is 13,535 yuan/ton (up 45 yuan/ton), and the pig 2601 contract is 13,750 yuan/ton (up 50 yuan/ton) [3] Trading Volume and Open Interest - Trading volume: The trading volume of the pig 2509 contract is 28,058 lots (down 22,326 lots), the pig 2511 contract is 5,818 lots (down 4,996 lots), and the pig 2601 contract is 3,535 lots (down 1,180 lots) - Open interest: The open interest of the pig 2509 contract is 64,811 lots (down 4,190 lots), the pig 2511 contract is 44,174 lots (down 216 lots), and the pig 2601 contract is 23,240 lots (up 252 lots) [3] Price Spreads - Basis: The basis of the pig 2509 contract is 420 yuan/ton (down 200 yuan/ton), the pig 2511 contract is 945 yuan/ton (down 195 yuan/ton), and the pig 2601 contract is 730 yuan/ton (down 200 yuan/ton) - Inter - contract spreads: The 9 - 11 spread of pigs is 525 yuan/ton (up 5 yuan/ton), and the 11 - 1 spread is - 215 yuan/ton (down 5 yuan/ton) [3] Trend Intensity - The trend intensity is 0, which is in the neutral range within the [-2, 2] interval [4]

Group 1: Report Information - Report Type: Pig Daily Report [1] - Date: July 17, 2025 [2] Group 2: Market Review and Operation Suggestions Futures Market - On July 16, the main 2509 contract of live pigs opened slightly lower and then fell sharply, closing with a negative line. The highest price was 14,250 yuan/ton, the lowest was 14,000 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 14,010 yuan/ton, down 1.89% from the previous day. The total open interest of the index increased by 3,073 lots to 165,134 lots [7]. Spot Market - On July 16, the national average price of external ternary pigs was 14.43 yuan/kg, down 0.09 yuan/kg from the previous day [7]. Market Analysis - Demand side: The price difference between fat and standard pigs slightly widened, and the utilization rate of pig pens increased, indicating that the enthusiasm for secondary fattening replenishment had increased. Due to the hot weather, terminal demand was weak, slaughterhouse orders were average, and the slaughter rate and volume of slaughterhouses remained low. On July 16, the slaughter volume of sample slaughterhouses was 132,600 heads, a decrease of 11,000 heads from the previous day and an increase of 5,000 heads from a week ago [8]. - Supply side: According to Yongyi data, the planned slaughter volume of sample enterprises in July was 23.88 million heads, a month-on-month decrease of 1.19% compared with June. The slaughter volume might be slightly adjusted down. In the early ten days, enterprises had staged pressure on slaughter and reduced volume, and the slaughter weight increased slightly. Currently, the slaughter progress had recovered, and there were still secondary fattening pigs to be slaughtered in the future [8]. - Overall: Currently, the slaughter volume of large-scale farms has recovered, and prices have continued to decline. In the middle and late July, large-scale breeding enterprises may intensify their supply to meet their monthly slaughter targets. Meanwhile, demand is in the off-season, and pig prices may face pressure. In the futures market, all current futures contracts are slightly at a discount to the spot market. After the continuous recovery of large-scale farm slaughter, prices will decline along with the spot market. In the long term, the supply of live pigs will continue to increase, but the domestic anti-involution initiative and strengthened regional environmental protection policies are favorable for long-term pig price performance. Attention should be paid to the impact of future policies on production capacity [8]. Group 3: Industry News - As of the week ending July 11, the average profit per self-breeding and self-raising pig was 165 yuan/head, a week-on-week decrease of 6 yuan/head; the average profit per purchased piglet was -44 yuan/head, a week-on-week decrease of 58 yuan/head [9][11].

Group 1: Report Overview - Report Title: Pig Daily Report [1] - Report Date: July 16, 2025 [2] Group 2: Market Review and Operation Suggestions Market Review - Futures: On July 15, the main 2509 contract of live pigs opened lower, then rose and fell back, closing with a negative line. The highest price was 14,360 yuan/ton, the lowest was 14,230 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 14,250 yuan/ton, up 0.04% from the previous day. The total open interest of the index decreased by 230 lots to 162,061 lots [7]. - Spot: On July 15, the average price of ternary pigs nationwide was 14.54 yuan/kg, down 0.07 yuan/kg from the previous day [7]. Market Analysis - Demand: The price difference between fat and standard pigs widened slightly, and the utilization rate of pigsties increased, indicating higher enthusiasm for secondary fattening. Due to hot weather, terminal demand was weak, slaughterhouse orders were average, and the slaughter rate and volume remained low. On July 15, the slaughter volume of sample slaughterhouses was 133,600 heads, an increase of 11,000 heads from the previous day and 29,000 heads from a week ago [8]. - Supply: According to Yongyi data, the planned pig slaughter volume of sample enterprises in July was 23.88 million heads, a month-on-month decrease of 1.19% from June. There was phased pressure on栏 and reduced slaughter in the first ten days, and the slaughter weight increased slightly. Currently, the slaughter progress has recovered, and there are still secondary-fattened pigs to be slaughtered in the future [8]. Market Outlook - Short - term: The short - term reduction in slaughter boosted the rebound of futures and spot prices. Currently, the group's slaughter volume has recovered, and prices have slightly corrected [8]. - Medium - to - long - term: Pig supply will continue to increase. From mid - to - late July, group - owned farms may increase supply to meet monthly targets, and demand is in the off - season, so pig prices may face pressure. Futures contracts are slightly at a discount to the spot. The spot market's supply reduction to maintain prices has driven the rebound of futures and spot prices. In addition, the domestic anti - involution initiative is beneficial to the medium - to - long - term performance of pig prices, and the increasing environmental protection efforts in some areas support market sentiment [8]. Group 3: Data Overview - Profit: As of the week of July 11, the average profit per self - bred and self - raised pig was 165 yuan/head, a week - on - week decrease of 6 yuan/head; the average profit per pig purchased as a piglet was - 44 yuan/head, a week - on - week decrease of 58 yuan/head [17]. - Piglet Price: In the week of July 10, the average market sales price of 15kg piglets was 539 yuan/head, an increase of 10 yuan/head from the previous week [17]. - Utilization Rate: In late June, the utilization rate of fattening pigsties was 53.9%, a ten - day increase of 9 percentage points [17]. - Price Difference: In the week of July 10, the price difference between 150 - kg fat pigs and standard pigs was 0.10 yuan/jin, the same as the previous week [17]. - Slaughter Weight: As of the week of July 11, the average slaughter weight of pigs nationwide was 129.03 kg, an increase of 0.39 kg from the previous week, a month - on - month increase of 0.30% [17].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the pig farming industry has maintained profitability in the first half of the year due to declining breeding costs and some farmers successfully locking in profits through stable operating models [1][2] - In the first half of the year, the average price of live pigs was 15.50 yuan per kilogram, a year-on-year decrease of 0.8%, primarily due to a significant increase in the number of pigs being sold compared to the previous year [1][2] - The slaughter volume of large-scale pig slaughtering enterprises from January to May was 15,349.67 million heads, with May's slaughter volume at 3,215.67 million heads, reflecting a month-on-month increase of 4.5% and a year-on-year increase of 20.6% [1] Group 2 - The recent rebound in pig prices is driven by multiple favorable factors, including the clearance of large pigs and the conversion of some fresh pork to frozen products, which alleviated supply pressure [2] - The average prices of feed and raw materials for pig farming, such as corn and soybean meal, decreased by 9.2%, 8.8%, and 6.4% year-on-year, respectively, contributing to sustained low breeding costs [2] - The overall pig farming industry has been in a downward price cycle for nearly two years, but some local governments have actively supported farmers, leading to stable profits for certain farmers [2] Group 3 - The outlook for pig prices suggests a potential rebound in the third quarter, although the extent of this rebound may be limited due to continued ample production capacity [3] - The number of newborn piglets has been increasing since the second half of last year, indicating that pig supply will remain abundant into the second half of 2025 [3] - Seasonal recovery in pork consumption is expected as the market stabilizes, with government policies encouraging farmers to control the weight of pigs at the time of sale [3]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The supply pressure of live pigs still exists, and the spot price is likely to face difficulties in continuing to strengthen. The futures market is also affected by the weakening of the spot price and is expected to show a certain degree of decline. The price will be in a state where both upward and downward movements are restricted [2][4]. Group 3: Summary by Related Content Spot Information - Today's live pig spot prices generally declined. After the previous continuous price increase, the market's enthusiasm for selling pigs has recovered, but the overall price decline is limited.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The overall spot price of live pigs showed a fluctuating trend. After the previous continuous price increase, the market's enthusiasm for selling increased, leading to a price decline. However, the overall decline space was limited as the market's resistance to low prices increased. The market supply improved in the short term, and the upward momentum of prices was restricted. The follow - up supply pressure was still expected to exist due to the relatively high inventory, making it difficult for the spot price to continue rising [2]. - The live pig futures showed a fluctuating downward trend. After the previous rapid increase, the market's bullish sentiment declined, and the futures entered a high - level fluctuation state. It was expected to be affected by the weakening spot price. The short - term monthly spread was expected to be mainly volatile due to the lack of obvious driving factors [5]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report suggests that the pig price will be in a state of shock adjustment. The supply of live pigs is expected to increase monthly until December, making it difficult for the pig price to rise significantly. However, the demand side also provides some support, preventing the pig price from falling significantly. It is not recommended to chase the long position [3]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Dynamics - On July 2, the registered warehouse receipts of live pigs were 450 lots. The LH2509 contract had a significant increase due to the continuous rise of the spot price. The main contract (LH2509) increased its positions by 5,729 lots today, with a position of about 83,900 lots, the highest price was 14,375 yuan/ton, the lowest price was 13,880 yuan/ton, and it closed at 14,340 yuan/ton [4]. 3.2 Fundamental Analysis - From the perspective of the number of fertile sows, the supply of live pigs from March to December is expected to increase monthly, but the increase is limited. From the perspective of piglet data, the slaughter volume of live pigs in the second and third quarters of 2025 will generally increase in a volatile manner. The first half of the year is the off - season for demand, while the second half is the peak season [2]. - From the historical situation and current fundamentals, the fat - standard difference may be adjusted in a volatile manner [2]. - The short - side logic includes slow weight reduction in the breeding end, incomplete release of supply pressure, continuous increase in subsequent slaughter volume, and limited support of demand for pig prices as the second and third quarters are not the consumption peak season. The long - side logic includes the room for increasing frozen product inventory, strong resilience of spot prices, limited increase in subsequent slaughter volume, and the gradual entry into the consumption peak season in the third and fourth quarters [2]. 3.3 Strategy Suggestions - The view is shock adjustment. The core logic is that the slaughter volume of live pigs may increase monthly until December, so it is difficult for the pig price to rise significantly under sufficient supply. The current "weight reduction - stable pig price" relationship in the spot market indicates that the demand side also supports the pig price, and it is difficult for the pig price to fall significantly.
