Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The industry is in a critical game period between short - term price pressure and long - term capacity clearance. Policy regulation and the culling of reproductive sows from March to May will determine the future market trend. Near - term prices are expected to fluctuate at the bottom [4]. Summary by Related Catalogs Soybeans - The rise in both futures and spot prices is due to the small amount of remaining grain in the hands of grass - roots farmers, increasing the grain - purchasing cost for the middle and lower reaches. The key to the price inflection point lies in the resumption of state - reserve auctions and an increase in imported soybeans. It is expected that the domestic soybean market will remain strong, and it is advisable to go long at low prices [1]. Corn - In the Northeast, the remaining grass - roots grain is less than 30%. With the rise in temperature and spot prices, the remaining grain is gradually released. Some traders are selling for profit, and the post - holiday operating rate of processing enterprises has increased slightly. The overall downstream demand is fair, and the purchase price remains strong. On the 9th, all the grain sources put up for auction by the China National Grain Reserves Corporation were sold, with a large local premium. Although crude oil's sharp decline has led to a correction in corn, considering the strong fundamentals, it is advisable to replenish stocks or buy on dips [1]. Eggs - As of the end of February 2026, the national laying - hen inventory was 1.35 billion, a year - on - year increase of 3.4%, which restricts the rapid and significant increase in egg prices. However, the number of newly - laid hens from March to April 2026 will decrease significantly, and the laying - hen inventory will decline from April to May. Although the short - term supply is still loose, the downside space is limited, and it is expected that egg prices will be stable with an upward trend. It is recommended to adopt a low - buying strategy [2]. Pigs - As of the end of December 2025, the national inventory of breeding sows was 39.61 million, 101.6% of the normal level, and it slightly decreased to 39.58 million in January 2026, still above the regulatory red line. The supply of pigs in the first half of 2026 will face great pressure. The state has purchased 10,000 tons of pork, indicating an oversupply. It is expected that the state will continue to purchase to ease the oversupply pressure. The industry has sufficient cash flow, and capacity reduction is difficult. If there is a deep and continuous loss in the second quarter, it will accelerate the consumption of industrial cash flow. From March to May, the spot price will be in a bottom - seeking stage, and it is expected to fall below the feed cash cost to stimulate capacity reduction [3].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall trend of soybean prices is expected to continue an upward oscillation, with short - term adjustments possibly caused by the release of imported soybeans from storage [1]. - Corn prices are on a slow upward trend, and the recommended strategy is to go long at low prices and consider replenishing stocks or buying on dips [2]. - Egg prices are expected to be stable with a slight upward trend, and a low - buying strategy is recommended [3]. - The pig market is in a stage of short - term price pressure and long - term capacity clearance. Near - term prices are expected to oscillate at the bottom, and the follow - up policy regulation and the culling of sows from March to May will be decisive for the market trend [3][4]. Summary by Related Catalogs Soybeans - Domestic soybean spot prices have generally risen steadily, with tight supply of high - protein soybeans and post - holiday restocking demand from downstream, but purchases are mainly for rigid needs. The price low point has passed [1]. - The 39.5 - protein tower grain in the Heilongjiang main production area is priced around 2.08 - 2.2 yuan per catty, 40 - 41 protein tower grain is around 2.25 - 2.3 yuan per catty, and high - protein soybeans (such as 42 - protein and above) can reach 2.35 - 2.45 yuan per catty in some areas [1]. Corn - After the holiday, grain depot purchasing has resumed, and the purchase base prices have increased. For example, the base price of Hohhot Direct - affiliated Depot of China Grain Reserves Inner Mongolia Branch is 2340 yuan per ton, up 30 yuan per ton from before the holiday [2]. - Affected by post - holiday restocking demand and the resonance of the futures and spot markets, corn prices are rising slowly, but downstream enterprises are cautious in purchasing due to poor profit margins. The sharp rise in crude oil is beneficial to ethanol enterprises and indirectly drives up corn prices [2]. Eggs - Based on the previous chick sales, the supply of newly - opened laying hens from February to March may decrease, and the inventory of laying hens in production is expected to decline slightly from the high level, alleviating the supply pressure [3]. - From January to June 2026, the monthly average inventory of laying hens in production nationwide is 1.134 billion, a year - on - year decrease of 0.02 billion (0.18%) compared with 2025, and an increase of 0.078 billion (7.39%) compared with the average of the previous six years [3]. Pigs - In early February, the pig - grain ratio in China was below 5:1 for three consecutive weeks, meeting the conditions for frozen meat procurement. After the Spring Festival, the market is in a state of strong supply and weak demand, and pig prices are at a seasonal low [3]. - As of the end of December 2025, the national inventory of breeding sows was 39.61 million (101.6% of the normal level), and it slightly decreased to 39.58 million in January 2026, still above the regulatory red line. The inventory of breeding sows indicates large pressure on pig production in the first half of 2026 [3][4]. - Huachuwang announced the procurement of 10,000 tons of pork tomorrow, indicating an oversupply in the spot market. It is expected that subsequent procurements will continue to ease the oversupply pressure [4].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The low point of soybean prices has passed, and the subsequent trend will be an oscillating upward movement [1]. - Corn should be considered from a low - buying perspective, and if there is a pull - back adjustment, it is advisable to actively replenish stocks or buy [2]. - Eggs are expected to be stable with a slight upward trend later, and a low - buying approach is recommended [2]. - The contradiction of oversupply in the pig market may be alleviated, and the decline in pig prices is expected to slow down and reach the bottom. However, there is still significant pressure on pig slaughter in the first half of 2026 [3]. - The industry is in a critical game period between short - term price pressure and long - term capacity clearance. The near - term is expected to oscillate at the bottom [4]. Summary by Related Products Soybean - The domestic soybean spot market price shows a stable - to - strong trend. Northeast产区 traders' selling prices have increased after the Spring Festival, but new transactions are limited. Traders in Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Henan indicate slow local bean transactions, and prices are mostly stable. The selling price of Northeast beans in the sales area has increased following the production area, but the increase is smaller [1]. Corn - Northeast deep - processing enterprises have gradually resumed full - scale purchases. Driven by the futures market, the price of deep - processing acquisitions has risen significantly compared to before the Spring Festival. The fuel ethanol enterprise acquisition price has increased by 20 - 30 yuan/ton, and the dry - grain acquisition price in Songyuan is 2230 yuan/ton (+50 yuan). The port in Jinzhou is gradually resuming operations, and the shipping demand is still low, with full recovery expected after the Lantern Festival [1]. - The sharp rise in crude oil is beneficial to ethanol enterprises, indirectly driving up the price of corn. A low - buying strategy is recommended [2]. Eggs - Based on the previous chicken - chick sales volume, the supply of newly - laid hens from February to March may decrease, and the inventory of laying hens is expected to slightly decline from the high level. The supply pressure of eggs is expected to be alleviated to some extent. The average monthly inventory of laying hens from January to June 2026 is 1.134 billion, a year - on - year decrease of 0.02 billion (0.18%) compared to 2025, and an increase of 0.078 billion (7.39%) compared to the average of the previous six years [2]. Pigs - In early February, the domestic pig - to - grain ratio was below 5:1 for three consecutive weeks, meeting the conditions for frozen - meat purchase and storage. After the Spring Festival, the market demand is weak, and the supply is relatively normal, resulting in a situation of oversupply. With the implementation of the purchase - and - storage policy, the contradiction of oversupply may be alleviated. As of the end of December 2025, the national inventory of breeding sows was 39.61 million, 101.6% of the normal reserve. In January 2026, it slightly decreased to 39.58 million, still above the regulatory red line. There is still significant pressure on pig slaughter in the first half of 2026 [3].
