Report Summary 1. Investment Rating - The report maintains a reverse spread strategy for the hog market [1] 2. Core View - In August, the planned slaughter volume of group farms increases, while retail farmers passively hold back hogs. With limited demand growth, the market faces significant pressure. The daily trading volume is poor, making it difficult to absorb market supply. As the September contract enters the pre - delivery month and the second position limit on the tenth trading day, the futures price is still at a large premium to the warehouse receipt cost, increasing the industry's willingness to deliver. Attention should be paid to the market of premium convergence. Recently, the macro sentiment strongly supports the far - end contracts, presenting a situation of weak current reality and strong future expectations. The spread structure maintains a reverse spread, and stop - loss and take - profit should be noted.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The US soybean good-to-excellent rate has risen to 70% this week. Although there will be slightly less rainfall in the production areas in the next two weeks, there is no significant high temperature, so the expected impact is limited. [7] - Under the pressure of the concentrated arrival of Brazilian soybeans, the domestic soybean crushing in August is expected to exceed 10 million tons, and the outlook for soybean meal remains positive. The purchase of ships from October to January is progressing slowly, and there is an expectation of inventory reduction in the far - month under the current Sino - US trade policy. [7] - In the short term, the high存栏 of pig and poultry farming is expected to support feed demand. However, the policy aims to control the存栏 and weight of pigs, which is expected to affect the far - month supply of pigs. Soybean meal has a high cost - performance ratio, and its提货 is at a high level. Some areas are using wheat to replace corn, reducing the demand for protein. [8] - This week, the trading volume of soybean meal has increased. The domestic soybean inventory has reached a high level, and the soybean meal inventory has decreased slightly but remains in the accumulation cycle. The inventory days of feed enterprises' soybean meal have decreased. [8] - Overall, the US soybean market has rebounded.
