Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Investment rating for the pig and egg markets is cautiously bearish [3][6] Group 2: Core Views of the Report - For the pig market, supply pressure is expected to decrease in the future, and there is an obvious expectation of improvement in the consumer side, but the impact may be limited. Price support mainly relies on the short - term supply gap created by the increase in secondary fattening. The current overall supply - demand pattern remains unchanged, with short - term demand boosts having an impact and the long - term pattern difficult to change [2] - For the egg market, it has entered the pre - Mid - Autumn Festival stocking period, and demand has improved. However, due to the continuous increase in the number of laying hens in production and the release of cold - stored eggs, supply is in excess, suppressing egg prices, and the short - term pattern is difficult to change [4][5] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Pig Market Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the live hog 2509 contract yesterday was 13,860 yuan/ton, a change of - 50.00 yuan/ton (- 0.36%) from the previous trading day.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for both the pig and egg industries is cautiously bearish [3][6] Group 2: Report Core Views - For the pig industry, supply pressure is expected to decrease in the future, and there is an obvious expectation of improvement in consumption, but the impact may be limited. Price support mainly relies on the short - term supply gap created by the increase in secondary fattening. The current overall supply - demand pattern remains unchanged, and the short - term demand boost may have a certain impact, but the long - term pattern is difficult to change [2] - For the egg industry, the demand has improved due to pre - Mid - Autumn Festival stocking, tourism, catering, and school opening. However, the continuous increase in the number of laying hens in production and the release of cold - storage eggs have led to an oversupply situation, making it difficult to change the overall pattern in the short term [4][5] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Pig Market Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the live pig 2509 contract yesterday was 13,910 yuan/ton, a change of +70.00 yuan/ton (+0.51%) from the previous trading day. - Spot: In Henan, the price of outer three - yuan live pigs was 13.67 yuan/kg (unchanged from the previous day), with a spot basis of LH09 - 240 (a change of - 10 from the previous day); in Jiangsu, it was 13.77 yuan/kg (a change of - 0.04 yuan/kg), with a spot basis of LH09 - 140 (a change of - 110 from the previous day); in Sichuan, it was 13.65 yuan/kg (unchanged from the previous day), with a spot basis of LH09 - 260 (a change of +30 from the previous day). - Agricultural product wholesale prices on August 25: The "Agricultural Product Wholesale Price 200 Index" was 115.78, up 0.25 points from last Friday; the "Vegetable Basket" product wholesale price index was 116.23, up 0.30 points from last Friday.

Summary of Conference Call on Swine Farming Industry Industry Overview - The conference call focuses on the swine farming industry, particularly the impact of production capacity regulation policies on the market dynamics and pricing trends of live pigs [1][3][16]. Key Points and Arguments 1. **Price Trends and Influencing Factors** - Pig prices have dropped below 14 yuan, primarily due to the realization of production capacity in Q1 and Q2, with an increase in the number of fattening pigs as a result of accelerated weight reduction and shortened age [2][5]. - The market is expected to see a slight decline in prices in August and September, followed by a potential increase driven by seasonal consumption [2]. 2. **Production Capacity Regulation** - National capacity regulation has significantly impacted the swine industry, especially for large farming companies, effectively controlling the average slaughter weight [3][16]. - Without such regulations, prices could fall due to high slaughter weights and low prices, leading to reduced profitability for farmers [17]. 3. **Weight Reduction Strategies** - Major farming groups, such as Muyuan, have successfully reduced average slaughter weights to around 121 kg, with a target of below 120 kg by the end of August [4]. - The overall weight reduction target completion is approximately 80%, indicating a concerted effort to manage supply levels [4]. 4. **Market Dynamics and Supply Issues** - The supply of fattening pigs has shifted from self-breeding to piglet fattening and secondary fattening, leading to a supply gap due to high costs and losses incurred by farmers [6][11]. - The price difference between standard and fattened pigs is higher than in previous years, attributed to a decrease in self-breeding farmers and insufficient continuous supply of fattened pigs [6]. 5. **Regional Disease Outbreaks** - The southern regions of China are experiencing multiple waves of disease outbreaks, affecting swine populations and contributing to market instability [7]. 6. **Government Policies and Market Confidence** - Recent government policies have positively influenced market confidence, prompting farmers to maintain higher utilization rates of their facilities and prepare for future demand [11]. - Local governments have implemented measures to support production cuts, such as stricter regulations on pig movements and inspections [12][14]. 7. **Future Price Outlook** - The price of live pigs is expected to stabilize and potentially rise in 2026, contingent on the continuation of production capacity reductions [15]. - The fourth quarter is anticipated to see a peak or near-peak price level similar to early July, with a price range between 13 yuan as the upper limit and 13 yuan as the lower limit [6]. Additional Important Insights - There is a notable trend of small and medium-sized farms attempting to expand production despite regulations, often through the rotation of breeding stock to enhance efficiency [12]. - The effectiveness of regulatory measures varies, with larger companies showing better compliance compared to smaller farms that may evade restrictions [16]. - The overall market is characterized by a complex interplay of supply, demand, and regulatory influences, necessitating close monitoring of industry trends and government actions [11][17].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - The supply of live pigs has increased as the slaughtering pace of the breeding end has accelerated, and the current demand remains weak, putting pressure on spot prices and dragging down the near - month prices to fluctuate weakly. Technically, due to the policy guidance on production capacity having a more obvious support for the far - month contracts and the expectation of improved future demand, the 2511 contract of live pigs performs stronger than the September contract, breaking through the 14,000 - yuan mark. It is recommended to wait and see for now [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Market - The closing price of the main futures contract for live pigs is 14,100 yuan/ton, up 90 from the previous day; the position of the main contract is 59,598 lots, up 626; the number of warehouse receipts is 380 lots, unchanged; the net long position of the top 20 futures holders is - 18,400 lots, down 209 [2] Spot Market - The live pig prices in Henan Zhumadian, Jilin Siping, and Guangdong Yunfu are 13,900 yuan/ton, 13,200 yuan/ton, and 15,300 yuan/ton respectively, down 100, 200, and 200 yuan/ton respectively; the main basis of live pigs is - 200 yuan/ton, down 190 yuan/ton [2] Upstream Situation - The live pig inventory is 424.47 million heads, up 7.16 million; the inventory of reproductive sows is 40.42 million heads, up 40,000 [2] Industrial Situation - The year - on - year increase of CPI is 0.1%, up 0.2 percentage points; the spot price of soybean meal in Zhangjiagang is 2,920 yuan/ton, unchanged; the spot price of corn is 2,395.49 yuan/ton, up 0.39 yuan; the Dalian Commodity Exchange pig feed cost index is 931.86, up 3.65; the monthly output of feed is 27.621 million tons, up 981,000 tons; the price of binary reproductive sows is 1,638 yuan/head, unchanged; the breeding profit of purchased piglets is - 116.78 yuan/head, down 45.39 yuan; the breeding profit of self - bred and self - raised live pigs is 43.85 yuan/head, down 18.31 yuan; the monthly import volume of pork is 90,000 tons, unchanged; the average price of white - striped chickens in the main producing areas is 13.7 yuan/kg, unchanged [2] Downstream Situation - The slaughter volume of designated live pig slaughtering enterprises is 32.16 million heads, up 1.39 million; the monthly retail sales of social consumer goods in the catering industry is 470.76 billion yuan, up 12.94 billion yuan [2] Industry News - According to the sample data of key breeding enterprises from Shanghai Ganglian, the daily national live pig slaughter volume of key breeding enterprises on August 7, 2025, was 259,880 heads, up 1.61% from the previous day. On Thursday, the 2611 contract of live pigs closed up 0.82% [2]

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views - **Oils and Fats**: Palm oil may see an upward trend due to concerns about limited inventory growth and potential export increase in August. For soybean oil, the impact of US biodiesel policy has ended, and domestic demand may pick up in August. It is recommended to go long on dips for palm oil and pay attention to the domestic demand recovery for soybean oil [1]. - **Meal and Bean Products**: The US soybean market is under pressure due to the expectation of a bumper harvest and trade uncertainties. Domestic soybean and bean meal inventories are rising, and the basis is oscillating at a low level. It is recommended to wait and see for bean meal [2]. - **Pork**: The spot pork market is weak, with low enthusiasm for secondary fattening, increased slaughter volume, and weak demand. It is expected that the spot price will remain at the bottom, and the near - month contract is under pressure. For the far - month contract, it is not recommended to short blindly, but the impact of hedging funds should be noted [4]. - **Corn and Corn Starch**: The corn market is relatively stable in the short term, with limited price increase and decrease. The supply is tight in the third quarter and may be loose in the fourth quarter. Attention should be paid to policy auctions and the growth of new crops [6]. - **Sugar**: The international sugar market has no new drivers, and the overall is bearish. The domestic sugar market has low demand, and the price is under pressure due to the increase in imports. It is expected to maintain a narrow - range high - level oscillation [8]. - **Eggs**: The supply of eggs is sufficient, but the supply of large - sized eggs is tight. The demand may first decrease and then increase this week. The egg price may decline slightly next week but still has an upward space in the spot market, while the futures upside is limited [11]. - **Cotton**: The supply pressure of cotton is increasing marginally, and the demand weakness is weakening marginally. The domestic cotton price may oscillate in the short term and face pressure after the new cotton is on the market [14]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints - The current situation of the pig market is characterized by strong expectations but weak reality, and attention should be paid to path changes [1] - In the short - term, the spot price of live pigs will oscillate weakly, and the futures price of the LH2509 contract will be in the range of 13000 - 14500 yuan/ton, with the 2026 contract entering the industrial profit - locking logic stage [3][4] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs This Week's Market Review (7.21 - 7.27) - **Spot Market**: Pig prices are running weakly. The price of 20KG piglets in Henan is 37.5 yuan/kg, the price of live pigs in Henan is 14.18 yuan/kg, and the price of 50KG binary sows nationwide is 1628 yuan/head. The supply side shows a slight increase from large - scale farms and some reluctance to sell from smallholders. The demand side remains at a low level and is suppressed by high temperatures. The average slaughter weight nationwide is 124.68KG, with a month - on - month decrease of 0.21% [2] - **Futures Market**: Pig futures prices fluctuate significantly. The highest price of the LH2509 contract is 15150 yuan/ton, the lowest is 14160 yuan/ton, and the closing price is 14385 yuan/ton. The basis of the LH2509 contract is - 205 yuan/ton [2] Next Week's Market Outlook (7.28 - 8.03) - **Spot Market**: The spot price of live pigs will oscillate weakly. In the off - season, the adjustment of slaughter volume by large - scale farms has a greater impact on prices. As the peak season approaches in the second half of the year, the release of social inventory will increase, and the influence of large - scale farms will decline. In August, the contradictions will start to be released. The supply side has relatively high inventory accumulation, and the demand side is suppressed by high temperatures. The policy of purchases for storage may provide support [3] - **Futures Market**: The LH2509 contract price has been affected by strong macro - sentiment this week. However, as it approaches the position - limit period, it will gradually return to the industrial logic. The far - month 2026 contract will enter the industrial profit - locking logic stage. The short - term support level for the LH2509 contract is 13000 yuan/ton, and the pressure level is 14500 yuan/ton [4] Other Data - **Basis and Monthly Spread**: This week's basis is - 205 yuan/ton, and the LH2509 - LH2511 monthly spread is 0 yuan/ton [9] - **Supply**: The average weight this week is 124.68KG. In May, pork production was 549.6 tons, a month - on - month increase of 4.3%; in June, pork imports were 8.84 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 5.6% [12]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market is trading the policy intervention in capacity reduction, reconstructing the original oversupply logic, and significantly increasing the valuation of each contract on the futures market, especially for the far - end contracts [12][14] - For near - end contracts, although the theoretical supply in the fourth quarter increases, after the current active weight reduction to relieve pressure in advance and considering the possibility of active weight gain due to a large fat - standard price difference, the possibility of significant inventory reduction in the early fourth quarter decreases, and the monthly spread may move towards a positive spread structure [12][14] - For far - end contracts, the long - term policy regulation of sow capacity cannot be falsified for now, and the monthly spread tends to be in a reverse spread [12][14] - The industrial structure is being reconstructed, the uncertainty of unilateral trading increases, and more attention should be paid to monthly spread opportunities [12][14] Group 3: Summary by Directory 3.1 Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Spot Market**: Last week, the spot pig price continued to decline. Due to enterprises reducing weight, the slaughter volume remained high, the weight mainly decreased, the demand was average, and the price trend was weak. The fat - standard price difference decreased month - on - month but was higher year - on - year. The average price in Henan decreased by 0.26 yuan to 14.2 yuan/kg, in Sichuan by 0.16 yuan to 13.6 yuan/kg, and in Guangdong increased by 0.08 yuan to 15.58 yuan/kg. Affected by policies, the market's enthusiasm for slaughter remained high, but the supply may narrow near the end of the month. With the decline in pig prices, low prices may attract second - round fattening. It is expected that the pig price will first decline and then slightly increase next week [12][23] - **Supply Side**: In June, the official sow inventory was 40.43 million heads, a slight increase month - on - month, still 3.7% more than the normal level. Since last year, the sow production capacity has continued to increase, which may lead to a weaker fundamental situation in 2025 than in 2024. However, the current expectation of policy - forced capacity reduction is strong, which may improve the supply next year. From the piglet data, the theoretical supply in July and August is relatively stable, but there will be a significant increase in the basic supply from September to the end of the year. Currently, there is a pre - supply volume that can partially offset the pressure. In the short - term, the slaughter volume increased slightly month - on - month, and the weight decreased, indicating active market supply [12] - **Demand Side**: The overall consumption environment is weak, and changes in consumption habits are unfavorable for pork consumption. Pork consumption has been decreasing year - on - year, but the impact of festival consumption on pig prices should be noted month - on - month [12][60] - **Trading Strategy**: For unilateral trading, there is no recommendation for now. For arbitrage, a 3 - 5 reverse spread or an 11 - 01 positive spread is recommended, with a profit - loss ratio of 2:1, a recommended cycle of 2 months, and the core driving logic including policies, weight, basic supply, and fat - standard price difference [15] 3.2 Futures and Spot Market - **Spot Price Trend**: The spot price continued to decline last week, with different price changes in different regions. It is expected to first decline and then slightly increase next week. Although the current trend is weak, there is still an expectation of a price increase in August [23][26] - **Basis and Spread Trend**: The spot price trend is weak, but there is an expectation of a price increase in August [26] - **Prices of Piglets and Sows**: Relevant price trend charts are provided, but no specific textual analysis is given in the text [28] - **Prices of Back - up and Culled Sows**: Relevant price and ratio trend charts are provided, but no specific textual analysis is given in the text [30] 3.3 Supply Side - **Reproductive Sows and Changes**: In June, the official sow inventory was 40.43 million heads, a slight increase month - on - month, still 3.7% more than the normal level. The policy - forced capacity reduction expectation is strong, and the implementation of policies in the next few months needs attention [35] - **Inventory and Slaughter**: Relevant inventory and slaughter volume trend charts are provided, but no specific textual analysis is given in the text [37] - **Sow Culling and Sales**: Relevant culling and sales volume trend charts are provided, but no specific textual analysis is given in the text [40] - **Theoretical Slaughter Volume**: From the piglet data, the theoretical supply in July and August is relatively stable, but there will be a significant increase in the basic supply from September to the end of the year. Currently, there is a pre - supply volume that can partially offset the pressure [44] - **Proportion of Small and Large Pigs in Slaughter**: The proportion of small pigs in slaughter is low, indicating low epidemic pressure; the proportion of large pigs has slightly increased, indicating that the proportion of large pigs gradually increases as the weight increases [47] - **Trading and Average Carcass Weight**: In the short - term, the slaughter volume increased slightly month - on - month, and the weight decreased, indicating active market supply [51] - **Import and Pig Feed Ratio**: Relevant import volume and feed ratio trend charts are provided, but no specific textual analysis is given in the text [53] - **Second - Round Fattening and Barn Utilization**: Relevant ratio and utilization rate trend charts are provided, but no specific textual analysis is given in the text [55] 3.4 Demand Side - **Slaughter Volume**: The overall consumption environment is weak, and changes in consumption habits are unfavorable for pork consumption. Pork consumption has been decreasing year - on - year, but the impact of festival consumption on pig prices should be noted month - on - month [60] - **Slaughtering Rate and Gross Margin**: Relevant rate and margin trend charts are provided, but no specific textual analysis is given in the text [62] - **Spread and Price - Volume Relationship**: Relevant spread and price - volume relationship trend charts are provided, but no specific textual analysis is given in the text [64] - **Fresh - Frozen Spread and Fresh Sales Rate**: Relevant spread and sales rate trend charts are provided, but no specific textual analysis is given in the text [66] 3.5 Cost and Profit - The cost bottomed out and then slightly rebounded, remaining relatively low year - on - year. Affected by the lag effect of low costs, although the pig price is weak, the breeding profit is the highest in recent years [71] 3.6 Inventory Side - The frozen product inventory is moderately low but is in a slow recovery state [76]

Core Viewpoint - The pig futures market is experiencing a downward trend, with the main contract reported at 14,320.00 yuan/ton, reflecting a decline of 2.55% [1] Group 1: Policy and Market Conditions - The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs emphasizes strict implementation of capacity control measures, including the rational elimination of breeding sows and reduction of their inventory [2] - The National Development and Reform Commission reports that the national pig market price is 14.96 yuan/kg, down 0.53% from the previous period [2] - As of July 22, the operating rate of key slaughter enterprises is 26.48%, an increase of 0.37% week-on-week, while the frozen meat warehouse capacity utilization is 17.44%, a decrease of 0.02% [2] Group 2: Institutional Perspectives - Hualian Futures notes that demand is weak, with terminal consumption remaining sluggish and downstream resistance to high pig prices. The supply pressure is evident as the breeding sector accelerates sales [3] - Guoyuan Futures indicates that the pig industry is in a capacity release phase while terminal consumption is in a low season. However, there is some expectation of demand recovery, providing support for short-term prices [3] - Both institutions suggest that while short-term market sentiment is bullish due to seasonal consumption expectations and capacity control policies, medium-term supply pressures remain significant due to high inventory levels [3]

Report Information - Report Name: Pig Daily Report [1] - Date: July 23, 2025 [2] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - In late July, as group pig sales recover and demand is in the off - season, pig prices may continue to face pressure. In the medium to long term, pig supply will increase slightly, but the anti - involution initiative and strengthened environmental protection are beneficial to the long - term performance of pig prices, especially for far - month contracts [9]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Futures Market**: On the 22nd, the main 2509 contract of live pigs opened slightly lower, then bottomed out, recovered, and fluctuated higher, closing up. The highest was 14,415 yuan/ton, the lowest was 14,285 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 14,380 yuan/ton, up 0.21% from the previous day.

There are still secondary fattening pigs to be slaughtered in the future [10]. Outlook - In late July, the slaughter volume of large-scale farms will recover. In order to meet the monthly slaughter target, breeding enterprises may continue to increase the supply. At the same time, demand is in the off-season, and pig prices may continue to be under pressure [10]. - In the medium and long term, the supply of live pigs will continue to increase. However, the domestic anti-involution initiative and the strengthening of regional environmental protection policies are beneficial to the long-term performance of pig prices, especially the far-month contracts are affected by factors such as the expected reduction in weight and the increase in supply being less than the increase in demand. Attention should be paid to the impact of future policies on production capacity [10].
