Second - round fattening pigs and large pigs from retail farmers are being sold, maintaining an adequate market supply [2] - Last year from September to December, the inventory of breeding sows increased monthly, and the live pig production capacity was restored. It is expected that the inventory of commercial pigs will continue to increase month - on - month in May. The inventory of pigs weighing 7 - 49 kg and over 140 kg decreased [20] - The planned slaughter of large - scale enterprises in May increased slightly. With the decline in the price advantage of large pigs and the willingness of retail farmers to sell, the commercial pig slaughter in May is expected to increase month - on - month [22] Group 7: Demand - Side Analysis - Slaughter enterprises purchase according to demand.

The market supply is sufficient [41] - Demand: Market demand is average. With the rising temperature, it is the off - season for consumption, and there is still room for the slaughter rate to be adjusted downward [41] - Inventory: The storage capacity of slaughter enterprises is at a low level, and some unsold products are passively stored [41] - Policy: The Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Han Jun, issued the No. 1 order of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in 2025, announcing the "Administrative Measures for the Production and Operation License of Breeding Livestock and Poultry", which will be implemented on July 1, 2025 [41] - Epidemic: There are sporadic epidemic situations in some southern regions [41] - Market sentiment: The pig price fluctuates, second - round fattening is on the sidelines, and the short - term trend is stable and weak [41]

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.

Currently, the scale of pork imports is limited, and its impact on domestic pig prices is relatively limited [39].

Core Viewpoint - The live pig market is experiencing a prolonged period of low prices due to an oversupply and weak terminal demand, with expectations of continued price declines into 2025 [1][5]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - As of May 9, the average price of live pigs in the mainstream market is 14.78 yuan/kg, down 1.54 yuan/kg from the beginning of the year, indicating a weak price trend [1]. - The slaughtering rate has decreased to 34.53%, down 1.05 percentage points from before the Labor Day holiday, reflecting a return to normal demand levels post-holiday [2]. - The daily slaughter volume tracked by 134 pig slaughtering enterprises is at its highest level since 2019, while frozen product inventory rates have increased to 18.93%, suggesting continued supply pressure [3]. Price Trends and Market Sentiment - The price of piglets has also declined, with the average price for 7 kg three-way cross piglets at 537.78 yuan/head, down 13.05 yuan/head from April's peak, indicating reduced market activity [4]. - The overall supply pressure in the live pig market is expected to limit the willingness to replenish stocks, leading to further declines in piglet prices [5]. Breeding Stock and Future Projections - The number of breeding sows has shown a slight decrease, with 40.39 million reported in March 2025, down 0.66% from previous months, which may lead to a decline in live pig output starting in late 2025 [6]. - The average slaughter weight of pigs has increased to 126.51 kg/head, up 4.28 kg/head from January's low, indicating a potential shift in market dynamics if secondary fattening operations increase [7]. Profitability and Market Outlook - Despite the decline in live pig prices, breeding profits remain positive, with profits for self-breeding at 226 yuan/head, down 152 yuan/head from the start of the year, suggesting that the industry has not yet faced significant losses [8]. - The expectation is for continued weak prices in the short to medium term, with potential for a turnaround in the third quarter if breeding capacity continues to decrease [8].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The supply - demand situation of the pig market is expected to shift from short - term relative balance to looser, and the price is predicted to fluctuate weakly. The short - term supply pressure is moderate, but there is potential phased supply pressure, and the demand is cooling. It is recommended to hold short positions cautiously and set stop - losses [6]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Weekly Highlights Summary - **Market Review**: The pig price fluctuated and adjusted, with the main contract rising 0.11% weekly [6][11]. - **Market Outlook**: On the supply side, the post - festival slaughter rhythm of farmers is slow, and the slaughter weight remains stable. However, the price of fat pigs is lower than that of standard pigs, increasing the risk of secondary fattening and weakening the enthusiasm for entry. The pressure from the postponed supply may gradually appear after mid - to late May. According to the pig breeding cycle, the sow production capacity is in an increasing cycle in the second and third quarters, and the medium - term supply pressure is increasing. On the demand side, the post - festival terminal demand declines, the sales speed of white - striped pigs slows down again, the slaughterhouse operating rate decreases, and there are still passive inventory - building phenomena in a few areas. Overall, the short - term supply pressure is general, but the potential phased supply pressure exists, and the demand cools down [6]. - **Strategy Recommendation**: Hold short positions cautiously and set stop - losses [6]. 3.2 Futures and Spot Markets 3.2.1 Futures Market - **Price Movement**: The futures fluctuated and adjusted this week, and the main contract rose 0.11% weekly [8][11]. - **Net Position and Warehouse Receipts**: The net short position in futures decreased, and there were 705 futures warehouse receipts [13]. 3.2.2 Spot Market - **Pig and Piglet Prices**: The national average pig price this week was 14.94 yuan/kg, down 0.01 yuan/kg from last week and 0.47% from last month.
