Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In April, corn futures traded within a range, while hog and egg futures first rose and then declined. The report suggests a long - term range - bound operation for corn, a low - buying strategy in the medium term, and a short - term bullish trend. For hogs, the supply is expected to increase in 2025, with short - term price fluctuations between 14 - 15 yuan/kg, and medium - to long - term supply pressure. For eggs, the supply is expected to increase in the second quarter, and the inventory may first decrease and then increase after the May Day holiday [6][10][59]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Corn Macro Logic - The tariff event affects the global corn market in terms of price, supply, and trade flow, and impacts the domestic corn market mainly at the emotional level. Attention should be paid to the subsequent impact of the tariff event on the global grain market [12][101]. Industry Logic - The corn market may enter a passive inventory - building cycle. Key factors to watch include the auction policies of targeted rice/imported corn and grain import policies [13][102]. Supply - Demand Logic - **Supply**: Globally, the corn supply situation is gradually tightening, while the supply - demand of US corn remains relatively loose. In China, there is a long - term corn production - demand gap, and the substitution pricing logic remains unchanged. The import volume in the 24/25 season is expected to decrease significantly, and the domestic supply - demand pattern may shift from loose to basically balanced. In the medium term, after the seasonal supply pressure is released, the supply may gradually tighten. In the second quarter, focus on the policy - grain release rhythm, wheat substitution scale, and channel selling mentality [13][102]. - **Consumption**: In 2025, the pig production capacity increases, and the supply of hogs enters an upward cycle. The存栏 of egg - laying and meat - producing poultry remains high, so the feed consumption maintains a rigid demand. The deep - processing consumption is generally stable with a slight increase, providing rigid support for corn prices. In the second quarter, focus on the inventory - building efforts of downstream feed enterprises and the changes in hog/poultry存栏 [13][102]. Variety Viewpoint - In the short term, domestic grass - roots grain sales are nearing completion, port inventories are declining from high levels, and spot prices are fluctuating. In the medium term, the supply may gradually tighten, but the release of policy - grain sources and the expected wheat substitution may limit the upward price space. In the long term, the pricing logic of import substitution + planting cost remains, and policy guidance should be emphasized. In May, focus on supply variables such as wheat substitution and policy - grain auctions [14][103]. Trading Strategy - Long - term range - bound operation; medium - term low - buying strategy; short - term bullish trend. For the 2507 contract, watch whether it can break through the 2340 - 2350 pressure level. If it breaks through effectively, the expected price range will move up to 2370 - 2380. For the 2509 contract, if it effectively stands above 2350, the expected price range will move up to 2380 - 2400; otherwise, maintain a range - trading strategy [14][103]. Hogs Macro Logic - Domestically, focus on the interaction between China's CPI trend and hog prices. In March 2025, the CPI was - 0.1% year - on - year, and factors such as the Spring Festival month - shift narrowed the year - on - year decline and significantly increased the month - on - month figure [56][104]. Industry Logic - Against the background of the normalization of post - African swine fever diseases, passive capacity reduction leads to significant periodic fluctuations in hog prices, shortening the price fluctuation cycle but increasing the frequency. The process of large - scale concentration in the breeding sector is not over, and enterprises with low costs and good financial conditions continue to increase capacity utilization and expand market share. The slaughter plans of the top 30 breeding groups in 2025 are still expected to increase year - on - year [57][105]. Supply - Demand Logic - **Supply**: Excluding the impact of winter diseases, the hog supply in 2025 enters an upward cycle. The sow存栏 data shows a high level, and the production indicators of some leading breeding enterprises are improving, increasing the supply pressure. The number of newborn piglets has been increasing, and the post - Spring Festival slaughter weight is higher than in previous years [58][106]. - **Demand**: Pork consumption is relatively rigid, mainly following seasonal patterns in the short - to medium - term, and long - term attention should be paid to changes in the consumption structure [74]. Market Viewpoint - In the short term, the market supply is relatively balanced, and the national hog price fluctuates between 14 - 15 yuan/kg. As the weather gets warmer, the supply may exceed demand. In the medium term, the high number of newborn piglets and increasing slaughter weight will lead to continuous supply pressure in the next six months. In the long term, if diseases are excluded, the hog production capacity will continue to be realized throughout the year [59][107]. Operation Suggestion - The futures market has already priced in the downward expectation. After the Spring Festival, it has been trading on the repair logic. The medium - term trend is range - bound, and the short - term trend is weakly bearish. The support level for the 2507 contract is 13300 - 13400, and the pressure level is 13700. The support level for the 2509 contract is 13800 - 13900, and the pressure level is 14600 - 14700 [60][108]. Eggs Macro Logic - Domestically, focus on raw material prices and CPI changes. Currently, the prices of meat and vegetables are stable, and the macro - driving force is weak [78][110]. Industry Logic - The egg - laying chicken breeding industry has been profitable for four consecutive years. Driven by profits, the large - scale rate of egg - laying chicken breeding continues to increase, which will change the breeding subject structure and production efficiency [78][110]. Supply - Demand Logic - **Supply**: The存栏 of grandparent - stock egg - laying chickens has increased, and the import proportion has risen significantly. The存栏 of laying hens is slowly increasing and remains at a high level. The culling rhythm of old hens is slower than expected due to breeding profits [79][111]. - **Demand**: Historically, consumption increases slightly month - on - month in May. After the downstream stocking before the May Day holiday is basically completed, the current inventories in the production and circulation links are rising. It is expected that the inventory will be digested during the May Day holiday, and downstream consumption will support the spot price after the inventory adjustment [79][111]. Feed Cost - As of April 24, the feed cost per catty of eggs is 3.11 yuan, and the average weekly profit per catty of fresh eggs is 0.18 yuan. Rising feed costs support egg prices. The impact of feed prices on breeding profits should be monitored, as stable feed prices may slow down the culling rhythm, while rising prices may accelerate it [80][112]. Inventory Level - After the Spring Festival, the inventory declined from a high level and reached the lowest in early April, maintaining a low level for about two weeks. In late April, the inventory started to rise rapidly. As of April 24, the average production - link inventory was 1.16 days, the same as in 2024, and the circulation - link inventory was 1.28 days, compared with 1.03 days in 2024. It is expected that the supply will increase in May, and the inventory may first decrease and then increase after the May Day holiday [81][114]. Culling Rhythm - Since April, the culling rhythm of old hens has slowed down significantly, and the price of old hens has stopped falling and started to rise. As of April 24, the average price of old hens in Xinji was 5 yuan/kg, compared with 4.2 yuan/kg in 2024. The weekly culling age of old hens was 536 days, compared with 501 days in 2024. The current culling scale is lower than expected, and the large - scale culling time should be closely watched [82][113]. Variety Viewpoint - In the medium term, based on the data of chick replenishment and hen culling, the存栏 of laying hens is expected to increase from March to June. Insufficient culling willingness and forced molting may increase the supply pressure in the second quarter, and breeding profits may turn negative. In the long term, if the capacity reduction in the second quarter is less than expected, the supply pressure may continue into the second half of the year; otherwise, the pressure may be significantly relieved. Currently, the willingness to cull hens is increasing, and the impact of the culling rhythm on far - month contracts should be noted [83][115]. Trading Strategy - The report previously suggested paying attention to short - selling opportunities after the spot price peaks. The previously suggested pressure levels of 3180 - 3200 for the 2507 contract and 3880 - 3900 for the 2509 contract have been verified by the market. If the 2507 contract effectively breaks below the MA20 moving average and the 2509 contract effectively breaks below 3800, further downward space may open; otherwise, maintain a range - trading strategy. The 2506 main contract has fallen below the MA60 moving average following the spot price. Currently, the futures price is significantly at a discount to the spot price, and the short - term downward space should not be overestimated. Wait for further spot price movements [84][116].
