Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Daily Tips - The fundamentals show that in August, the supply and demand peak season before the Mid - Autumn Festival and National Day is approaching. The supply of pigs and meat is expected to increase this week. The demand is affected by the pessimistic macro - environment and high - temperature weather, but the tariff increase on imported pork from the US and Canada boosts market confidence. The market is expected to have both supply and demand increase, and the pig price will maintain a short - term oscillatory pattern. Attention should be paid to the changes in the monthly group - farm slaughter rhythm and the secondary fattening market dynamics. The overall assessment is neutral. - The basis of the 2511 contract is - 20 yuan/ton, with the spot price at a discount to the futures price, also rated as neutral. - As of June 30, the live pig inventory was 424.47 million heads, a 0.4% month - on - month increase and a 2.2% year - on - year increase. As of the end of June, the inventory of breeding sows was 40.42 million heads, a 0.02% month - on - month increase and a 4.2% year - on - year increase, which is bearish. - The price is below the 20 - day moving average and the direction is downward, also bearish. - The net long position of the main contract is increasing, which is bullish. - It is expected that the supply and demand of live pigs will pick up recently, and the pig price will bottom out and rebound, maintaining a range - bound pattern this week [10]. 3.2 Recent News - China's tariff increase on imported pork from the US and Canada boosts market confidence. After the May Day holiday, the domestic live pig consumption market entered the off - season, with both supply and demand decreasing. The spot price oscillated weakly in the short term, and the futures market followed the same pattern. - After the May Day holiday, the demand for pork decreased in the short term. Affected by the decrease in both supply and demand, the spot price of live pigs oscillated weakly, but the decline may be limited due to the reduction in slaughter. - The profit of domestic pig farming remains at a low level, but there is still a short - term profit. The enthusiasm for slaughtering large pigs is relatively high in the short term. The decrease in both supply and demand suppresses the short - term price expectations of live pig futures and spot markets. - The spot price of live pigs may oscillate weakly after the May Day holiday, and the futures market will generally maintain a weakly oscillatory pattern. When the market stabilizes depends on the future reduction in supply and the recovery of demand [12]. 3.3 Bullish and Bearish Factors - Bullish factors include the year - on - year decline in domestic live pig inventory and the limited room for further decline in domestic live pig spot prices. - Bearish factors are the pessimistic expectations in the domestic macro - environment due to the Sino - US tariff war and the entry of the live pig and pork consumption market into the off - season after May Day. The current main logic is that the market focuses on the slaughter situation of live pigs and the demand for fresh meat [13]. 3.4 Fundamental Data - The report provides data on live pig futures, warehouse receipts, and spot prices from August 20th to 28th, including prices of near - month 2509, main 2511, and other contracts, as well as the spot prices of outer - ternary live pigs in different regions [14]. - There are also various charts showing the trends of live pig futures basis and spreads, spot prices of different specifications of pigs, and supply - side indicators such as the prices of binary sows, 7kg piglets, and culled sows, piglet feed - to - meat ratio and survival rate, inventory at different levels (rural agriculture department, scale farms), pork imports, fattening costs, feed profit expectations, slaughter volume, slaughter profit, and alternative meat price differences [15][17][23]. - On the demand side, there are charts showing the trends of slaughter - end prices, slaughter profit, demand slaughter volume, consumption trends, pig - to - grain ratio, and the situation of state reserve purchases and releases [50][54][60]. 3.5 Position Data No specific position data is summarized in the given content.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The pattern of increasing theoretical pig出栏量 in the later stage remains unchanged. Starting from September, the month - on - month growth rate of出栏量 will increase, and the supply increment may exceed the seasonal performance of consumption. The industry is expected to enter the seasonal weight - gain stage in September, but the impact on supply will be limited due to the high level of pig出栏量. After September, terminal consumption will have a seasonal rebound, but overall, the pig supply - demand is expected to be relatively loose, and the operation idea is to be bearish with oscillations [1][18] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Review - In August, the live pig spot price failed to continue the rebound at the end of July. It oscillated downward and hit a new low under the background of increased出栏 by the breeding side and weak consumption. The futures showed a trend of first rebounding and then falling. The near - month LH09 contract was most affected by the spot price decline and the premium on the futures, thus performing the weakest [3] 2. Pig Supply - Demand Analysis 2.1 Sow Inventory and Piglet出栏 Data Indicate Continued Increase in出栏 - The national sow inventory reached a low of 39.86 million in May 2024, then rebounded to a high of 40.8 million in November 2024, with an increase of 2.4% from the low to the high. By June 2025, it was 40.42 million, equivalent to 103.6% of the normal inventory. The potential supply of commercial pigs from February to September 2025 will maintain an increasing pattern. The number of piglets born by sample enterprises has generally been increasing since November 2024. Therefore, the theoretical出栏量 will continue to increase [5] 2.2 Feed Sales Data Verify the Increase in Pig Inventory - From October 2024 to January 2025, the sales of piglet feed and nursery feed decreased seasonally, but the decline was significantly lower than in previous years, indicating that piglets were less damaged in winter. The sales of finishing pig feed increased significantly month - on - month in March 2025, earlier than in previous years. The month - on - month increase in finishing pig feed sales from June to July 2025 was similar to that of last year, meaning that the potential出栏 increase in September will be similar to the same period last year [8] 2.3 Secondary Fattening is Restrained, Focus on the Industry's Weight - Gain Rhythm - The average weight of slaughtered pigs in 16 key provinces peaked in May and declined, with the decline accelerating from June to August, reaching the lowest level in the past 5 years. The decline was due to the decrease in the feed - to - meat ratio after the temperature rose and the government's policy guidance. Group pig出栏 showed a stable downward trend, while the average weight of散户出栏 increased. After August, the industry usually enters the stage of seasonally increasing the average出栏 weight, and there is room for the industry's average weight to increase [10] 2.4 Consumption Performance is Average, with Limited Boost to the Market - The national pig slaughter volume has increased significantly compared with last year, and the daily slaughter volume in August increased significantly compared with July, matching the increase in出栏 indicated by the piglet birth data 6 months ago. The fresh - sales rate of slaughtering enterprises has been higher than last year for most of the time in 2025, but it has declined since July, indicating that the overall consumption increment is not obvious. The consumption in August 2025 was weak, and the consumption pressure from September to October will be greater than in previous years [12] 2.5 Feed Costs Decrease, but Pig Price Decline Compresses Profits - Since May 2024, domestic pigs have maintained a profitable state for nearly 14 months. Since August, the pig price has continued to decline, and the national average weight is close to the industry average cost. Although the cost has decreased, the low pig price has worsened the breeding profit [15] 3. Conclusion and Market Outlook - The pattern of increasing theoretical pig出栏量 in the later stage remains unchanged. Starting from September, the month - on - month growth rate of出栏量 will increase, and the supply increment may exceed the seasonal performance of consumption. The industry is expected to enter the seasonal weight - gain stage in September, but the impact on supply will be limited due to the high level of pig出栏量. After September, terminal consumption will have a seasonal rebound, but overall, the pig supply - demand is expected to be relatively loose, and the operation idea is to be bearish with oscillations [1][18]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - In August, as China approaches the Mid - Autumn Festival and National Day holiday season, the supply of pigs and pork is expected to increase. However, the domestic macro - environment is pessimistically expected, and high - temperature weather suppresses short - term fresh pork consumption. Although China's additional tariffs on pork imports from the US and Canada boost market confidence, the market is likely to see both supply and demand increase this week, with pig prices maintaining a short - term oscillatory pattern. The LH2511 contract of live pigs is expected to oscillate in the range of 13,600 - 14,000 [8]. Summary by Directory 1. Daily Prompt - Not provided in the content 2. Recent News - China's additional tariffs on pork imports from the US and Canada boost market confidence. After the May Day holiday, the domestic pig consumption market enters the off - season, with a decrease in both supply and demand. Spot prices are short - term oscillatory and weak, and the futures market follows a similar pattern. Although the spot price is weak, the decline may be limited due to reduced slaughter. Low pig - raising profits and relatively good large - pig slaughter enthusiasm also suppress short - term price expectations. The stabilization of the market depends on future supply reduction and demand recovery [10]. 3. Bullish and Bearish Factors - **Likely to be Bullish**: Domestic pig inventory has declined year - on - year, and the further decline of domestic pig spot prices may be limited [11]. - **Likely to be Bearish**: The domestic macro - environment has a pessimistic outlook due to the Sino - US tariff war, and pig and pork consumption enters the off - season after May Day [11]. - **Main Logic**: The market focuses on pig slaughter and fresh meat demand [11]. 4. Fundamental Data - **Supply and Demand**: In August, supply and demand are expected to increase. The market may see both pig and meat supply increase. High - temperature weather and a pessimistic macro - environment suppress short - term demand, but tariff policies boost market confidence [8]. - **Inventory**: As of June 30, the pig inventory was 424.47 million heads, a 0.4% month - on - month increase and a 2.2% year - on - year increase. As of the end of June, the breeding sow inventory was 40.42 million heads, a 0.02% month - on - month increase and a 4.2% year - on - year increase [8]. - **Price**: The national average spot price is 13,700 yuan/ton, and the basis of the 2511 contract is - 65 yuan/ton, indicating that the spot price is at a discount to the futures price. The price is below the 20 - day moving average and trending downward [8]. 5. Position Data - The net long position of the main contract is decreasing [8].
