Group 1: Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The overall view of the pig market is weak with fluctuations [4]. - From the data of sows and piglets, the supply of pigs in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2025 is abundant, and there is no basis for a significant increase in pig prices [4]. - The demand in the second and third quarters provides weak support for pig prices, making it difficult for prices to rise significantly [4]. - If there is a concentrated and substantial weight reduction in June and July, pig prices may hit new lows [4]. - Although there is a possibility of new lows in spot prices, the uncertainty is high, and the current weight reduction is actually beneficial to the 09 contract. Therefore, the price of the 09 contract is considered to be in a relatively reasonable range, and it is recommended to wait and see [4]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Overview - On June 16, the registered warehouse receipts of live pigs were 750 lots [2]. - The LH2507 contract is mainly focused on the regression of futures and spot prices and delivery games. The far - month contracts are fluctuating weakly due to the decline in spot prices and the expected increase in subsequent slaughter volume [2]. - The main contract (LH2509) reduced its positions by 500 lots today, with a position of about 80,000 lots, a maximum price of 13,850 yuan/ton, a minimum price of 13,750 yuan/ton, and a closing price of 13,780 yuan/ton [2]. - The national average live pig slaughter price on June 16 was 14.21 yuan/kg, up 0.09 yuan or 0.64% from June 13. The slaughter prices in Henan and Sichuan also increased to varying degrees [6]. - Among the futures prices, the prices of the 01, 07 contracts increased slightly, while the prices of the 03, 05, 09, 11 contracts decreased slightly [6]. - The main basis in Henan increased by 200 yuan to 520 yuan/ton, an increase of 62.5% [6]. 2. Fundamental Analysis - From the perspective of the inventory of breeding sows, the supply of live pigs from March to December is expected to increase monthly, but the increase is limited. From the piglet data, the slaughter volume of live pigs will generally increase in the second and third quarters of 2025. The first half of the year is the off - season for demand, while the second half is the peak season [3]. - Based on historical situations and current fundamentals, the fat - standard price difference may fluctuate and adjust [3]. - The short - side logic includes slow weight reduction in the breeding end, continuous increase in subsequent slaughter volume, and limited support from demand for pig prices in the second and third quarters [3]. - 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 peak consumption season in the third and fourth quarters [3]. 3. Strategy Recommendations - The view is weak with fluctuations [4]. - The core logic is that the slaughter volume of live pigs is abundant in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2025, the demand support for pig prices is weak in the second and third quarters, if there is concentrated and large - scale weight reduction in June and July, pig prices may hit new lows, and the 09 contract price is currently in a relatively reasonable range, so it is recommended to wait and see [4].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The spot price of live pigs is expected to fluctuate weakly. The supply of live pigs is likely to increase monthly from March to December, but the increase will be limited. The demand in the first half of the year is off - peak, while the second half is peak season. The fat - standard price difference may fluctuate and adjust. The market has both bearish and bullish logics. For the 2509 contract, it is recommended to wait and see for now [1]. Summary by Directory 1. Futures End - **Main Contract Basis Situation**: Against the backdrop of spot price decline due to weight reduction, the main contract (LH2509) of live pigs adjusted in a moderately strong manner. On June 13, 2025, the benchmark basis of the main contract was 320 yuan/ton [2][3]. - **Price Changes of Each Contract**: The prices of far - month contracts fluctuated and adjusted [5]. - **Inter - monthly Spread Changes**: Against the backdrop of weak spot prices, the spreads of some contracts showed reverse arbitrage trends [8][11]. 2. Spot End - **Pig Price and Slaughter Volume**: A decrease in slaughter volume and a drop in pig prices indicate pressure on the supply side, leading to the decline in pig prices [14]. - **Regional Price Difference**: The regional price difference is gradually returning to normal [16]. - **Fat - Standard Price Difference**: The price difference between 150kg pigs and standard pigs adjusted weakly in a fluctuating manner. If it strengthens, it may weaken the willingness of the breeding end to reduce weight [18]. - **Fresh Sales and Hair - White Price Difference**: The terminal consumption is relatively stable year - on - year [20]. - **Related Product Price Ratio and Fresh - Frozen Price Difference**: The cost - performance of pork is average. There is almost no fresh - frozen price difference for No. 2 meat, and fresh products will replace frozen products, increasing the demand for live pigs [22]. - **Breeding Profit**: The self - breeding and self - raising profit is still considerable, while the profit from purchasing piglets for fattening is in a marginal profit state [24]. - **Slaughter Weight**: The slaughter weight is decreasing rapidly, and the pressure of previous inventory accumulation is gradually being released [26]. 3. Production Capacity End - **Inventory of Reproductive Sows**: As of the end of April, the national inventory of reproductive sows was 40.38 million, with a flat month - on - month change and a 1.3% year - on - year increase. According to different data sources, the inventory of reproductive sows in May continued to increase [28]. - **Sow Culling Situation**: The price of culled sows weakened this week. The slaughter volume of culled sows increased month - on - month in May but remained at a low level [30]. - **Sow Production Efficiency and Number of Newborn Healthy Piglets**: In May, the number of newborn healthy piglets increased by 2.91% month - on - month, indicating a continuous increase in the number of slaughtered pigs in October this year [32]. - **Sow and Piglet Replenishment Enthusiasm**: This week, the price of 15kg piglets continued to decline, and the price of 50kg binary sows was stable with a slight weakening trend [34]. 4. Slaughter End - **Slaughter Volume and Slaughter Profit**: The slaughter volume continued to increase month - on - month. In April, the slaughter volume of designated enterprises was 30.77 million, a 0.5% month - on - month increase and a 20% year - on - year increase. The frozen product market has gradually changed from inventory accumulation to inventory reduction, and its impact on pig prices has changed from bullish to neutral - bearish [36]. 5. Import End - In April 2025, the import volume of pork was about 79,000 tons, a decrease of 11,000 tons from the previous month. Currently, the scale of pork imports is limited, and its impact on domestic pig prices is relatively limited [39].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The live pig spot price will fluctuate and adjust. The group's adjustment of slaughter volume has a significant impact on the price during the off - season. Although the downstream demand is weak and difficult to bear the supply pressure, the retail end has a sentiment of hoarding, the secondary fattening group actively replenishes stocks, and the policy of continuous state reserve purchases is expected, so the spot price turns stronger again [3]. - In the futures market, the LH2509 contract price is expected to have a long - term de - stocking process. Pay attention to the mid - line spread structure switching to the reverse spread market and set stop - profit and stop - loss points. The short - term support level of the LH2509 contract is 13,000 yuan/ton, and the pressure level is 14,500 yuan/ton [4]. 3. Summary by Directory This Week's Market Review (6.9 - 6.15) - **Spot Market**: The live pig price fluctuated and adjusted. The price of 20KG piglets in Henan was 39.1 yuan/kg (last week: 41.6 yuan/kg), the live pig price in Henan this week was 14.08 yuan/kg (last week: 14 yuan/kg), and the price of 50KG binary sows nationwide was 1,621 yuan/head (last week: 1,631 yuan/head). The average national slaughter weight was 125.76KG (last week: 126KG), with a month - on - month decrease of 0.19%. The supply side has limited incremental amplitude from groups, and retail farmers still have a sentiment of hoarding. The post - holiday market demand shows a seasonal decline, and the rising temperature further suppresses the demand increment, while the demand for secondary fattening replenishment is strong [1]. - **Futures Market**: The live pig futures price showed a strong - side fluctuation. The highest price of the LH2509 contract this week was 13,840 yuan/ton, the lowest price was 13,350 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 13,790 yuan/ton (last week: 13,460 yuan/ton). The basis of the LH2509 contract was 290 yuan/ton (last week: 540 yuan/ton) [2]. Next Week's Market Outlook (6.16 - 6.22) - **Spot Market**: The live pig spot price will fluctuate and adjust. The group's slaughter adjustment has a great impact on the price during the off - season. Although the downstream demand is weak, the retail end has a hoarding sentiment, the secondary fattening group actively replenishes stocks, and the policy of continuous state reserve purchases is expected, so the price turns stronger again. The supply has accelerated inventory accumulation, and the group's slaughter progress is in line with the plan. The incremental slaughter in the second quarter is limited, and the incremental slaughter in the third quarter will be more obvious. The demand is in the off - season, and the downstream support may be limited. The policy of secondary fattening sales has tightened, and the active incremental inventory accumulation drive is limited, but the state reserve purchase policy provides support [3]. - **Futures Market**: The LH2509 contract price has a long - term de - stocking process. Pay attention to the mid - line spread structure switching to the reverse spread market and set stop - profit and stop - loss points. The short - term support level is 13,000 yuan/ton, and the pressure level is 14,500 yuan/ton [4]. Other Data - **Basis and Monthly Spread**: This week's basis was 290 yuan/ton; the LH2507 - LH2509 monthly spread was - 495 yuan/ton [9]. - **Supply**: This week's average weight was 125.76KG (last week: 126KG). In April, the pork output was 5.268 billion tons, a month - on - month increase of 3.7%; the pork import volume was 805,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 11.8% [12].

研究所 均重继续下降 盘面企稳反弹 ——国信期货生猪周报 2025年06月15日 研究所 1 周度分析与展望 目 录 2 关键数据与图表 CONTENTS 周度分析与展望 研究所 过去一周生猪现货先弱后稳,整体重心较上周有所下移,期货低位反弹,主力LH09合约表现明显强于其余合约,使得LH7-9月 有差走弱,而LH9-11月差走强。基本面来看,集团场降重增量叠加社会场出栏积极,整体供应偏宽松,而目前消费处于淡季 ,加之二育入场有限,需求支撑亦不足。从中期来看,根据仔猪出生数据及饲料产销数据来看,后期整体出栏量大方向上仍呈 现逐步增多的趋势,尤其是10、11月环比增速或比较明显,供应总体偏充足。但政策指导企业降均重、限二育对供应节奏影 响亦较大,短期来看大企业降重出栏、二育受限使得当前有一定供应压力。而当下二育的减少,又会减轻未来供应的压力,从 而提升远月估值。综合来看,期货后期整体以底部宽幅震荡对待。操作上,短线偏多。 免责声明:本报告以投资者教育为目的,不构成任何投资建议 3 1.生猪期货行情 研究所 2.生猪现货行情 免责声明:本报告以投资者教育为目的,不构成任何投资建议 数据来源:WIND, 国信期货 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Spot prices are expected to fluctuate in the short - term, and there is a possibility of new lows in pig prices in the medium - to - long - term [1]. - Based on piglet data, pig slaughter volume may increase monthly until September, and with sufficient supply, it is difficult for pig prices to rise strongly. However, there is still marginal profit for weight gain within 150 kg, and the entry of second - fattening may support the spot price when it drops to around 14 yuan/kg. The 2509 contract price is in a relatively reasonable range, and it is recommended to wait and see for now [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Futures End 3.1.1 Main Contract Basis Situation - Affected by the continuously high slaughter weight, the market expects the future pig slaughter pressure to remain, and the main contract (LH2509) of live pigs has adjusted weakly with fluctuations. The basis of the main contract on May 16, 2025, was 1200 yuan/ton [2][3]. 3.1.2 Price Changes of Each Contract - The prices of far - month contracts fluctuate [5]. 3.1.3 Monthly Spread Changes - Due to the continuously high slaughter weight, the market expects the slaughter pressure to shift backward. The spread between the 7 - 9 and 7 - 11 contracts shows a positive spread trend [7][10]. 3.2 Spot End 3.2.1 Pig Price and Slaughter Volume - This week, pig prices have slightly loosened, and the slaughter volume has continued to decline [13]. 3.2.2 Regional Spread - Overall, Henan is a high - price area this year [15]. 3.2.3 Fat - Standard Price Spread - The fat - standard price spread is still weakly fluctuating, and the supply of fat pigs is sufficient [17]. 3.2.4 Fresh Sales and Gross - Net Price Spread - Terminal consumption is relatively stable year - on - year [19]. 3.2.5 Comparison of Related Products and Fresh - Frozen Spread - The cost - performance of pork is average. There is almost no fresh - frozen spread for No. 2 meat, and fresh products will replace frozen products, increasing the demand for live pigs [21]. 3.2.6 Breeding Profit - The self - breeding and self - raising profit is still considerable, while the profit from purchasing piglets for fattening is in a marginal profit state [23]. 3.2.7 Slaughter Weight - The slaughter weight is stable. Although the weights of retail and group ports have been adjusted this week, the actual slaughter weights of both retail and group ports are still increasing [25]. 3.3 Production Capacity End 3.3.1 Inventory of Reproductive Sows - According to Ministry of Agriculture data, the national inventory of reproductive sows at the end of March was 40.39 million, a month - on - month decrease of 1% and a year - on - year increase of 1.2%. Data from Yongyi Consulting and My steel show that the inventory of reproductive sows in their samples increased in April [27]. 3.3.2 Sow Culling Situation - The price of culled sows has been running steadily this week, and the slaughter volume of culled sows decreased month - on - month in April [30]. 3.3.3 Sow Production Efficiency and Number of Newborn Healthy Piglets - In April, the number of newborn healthy piglets increased by 2.91% month - on - month, indicating a continuous increase in the number of slaughtered pigs in October this year [32]. 3.3.4 Sow and Piglet Replenishment Enthusiasm - The price of 15 - kg piglets continued to decline this week, while the price of 50 - kg binary sows was running steadily [34]. 3.4 Slaughter End - The slaughter volume increased month - on - month. In March, the slaughter volume of designated enterprises was 30.63 million, a month - on - month increase of 40.7% and a year - on - year increase of 20.4%. Slaughter enterprises have the action of dividing and warehousing frozen products, which supports pig prices [36]. 3.5 Import End - In March 2025, the pork import volume was about 90,000 tons, an increase of 10,000 tons from the previous month. Currently, the scale of pork imports is limited, and its impact on domestic pig prices is relatively limited [39].
