1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, the terminal demand for live pigs increases at the beginning of the month, and the spot price of live pigs rebounds with fluctuations, but the supply pressure in September remains high, and the overall situation is still weak. For futures, the 2511 and 2601 contracts are in the peak demand season, and the supply of live pigs increases slightly, with a possible improvement in the supply - demand margin. However, the current spot pressure is still large, and the trend is mainly weak [8]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Futures Market**: On the 4th, the main 2511 contract of live pigs opened flat and then oscillated downward, closing in the red at the end of the session.

The output may continue to increase significantly, and the utilization rate of the second - fattening pens remains high. There is still pressure on output, and the average weight of slaughtered pigs is declining. In the long - term, the output of live pigs may still increase slightly [8]. - **Demand - side Situation**: The price difference between fat and lean pigs has slightly widened, and the cost of fattening is still low. Currently, the second - fattening is mainly in a wait - and - see state. At the beginning of September, colleges and universities in various regions started school one after another. The centralized procurement by school canteens at the beginning of the month boosted the market, and the weather in some regions continued to cool down, which may increase the terminal consumption of residents. The orders of slaughtering enterprises increased slightly, the slaughter progress was relatively fast, and the operating rate and slaughter volume of slaughtering enterprises increased slightly. On September 4th, the slaughter volume of sample slaughtering enterprises was 150,800 heads, an increase of 10,000 heads compared with the previous day and an increase of 65,000 heads compared with a week ago [8]. 3.2 Industry News - As of August 21st, the average profit per head of self - breeding and self - raising was 78 yuan/head, a weekly decrease of 5 yuan/head; the average profit per head of purchasing piglets for breeding was - 57.6 yuan/head, a weekly decrease of 5 yuan/head [9][11]. 3.3 Data Overview - **15 - kg Piglet Price**: In the week of August 21st, the average market sales price of 15 - kg piglets was 463 yuan/head, a decrease of 21 yuan/head compared with the previous week [17]. - **Slaughter Volume**: In the week of August 21st, the slaughter volume of the slaughter sample was 1.675 million heads, an increase of 41,500 heads or 2.54% compared with the previous week; the average daily slaughter volume of the daily slaughter sample was 140,238 heads, an increase of 1,792 heads or 1.29% compared with the previous week [17]. - **Planned Output of Sample Enterprises**: In August, the planned output of sample enterprises was 24.72 million heads, a month - on - month increase of 6.6% compared with July, with a significant increase in output [17]. - **Average Weight of Slaughtered Pigs**: As of the week of August 21st, the average weight of slaughtered pigs nationwide was 127.98 kg, an increase of 0.16 kg or 0.13% compared with the previous week [17].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The price of live pigs has declined, with the main contract 2511 falling 2.06% this week. In the near term, supply pressure remains, suppressing pig prices. However, the short - term slaughter rhythm may slow down, the slaughterhouse's operating rate is rising, and the state's purchasing and storage measures boost market sentiment. It is expected that the short - term decline space is limited, and the market will operate weakly in a volatile manner. It is recommended to conduct reverse arbitrage operations [6][10]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Weekly Highlights Summary - **Market Review**: The price of live pigs decreased, and the main contract 2511 dropped 2.06% weekly [6][10]. - **Market Outlook**: On the supply side, due to the implementation of transportation policies on September 1 and possible supply reduction at the beginning of the month, the supply pressure is expected to ease briefly next week. But the supply pressure in the near - term remains as September corresponds to the peak of the previous increase cycle of sow inventory. The widening price difference between fat and standard pigs provides conditions for late - stage pig holding and secondary fattening. On the demand side, the pig - grain ratio has triggered a third - level warning, and the state has launched a combination of "new purchasing and storage" and "rotational purchasing and storage" to stabilize the market. With sufficient pig supply, increased demand from schools after the start of the semester, and the continuous rise in the slaughterhouse's operating rate. Overall, the near - term supply pressure persists, but short - term price decline is limited, and the market will operate weakly in a volatile manner [6]. 3.2 Futures and Spot Markets - **Futures Market**: The futures price declined this week, and the net short position of the top 20 futures decreased.

Report Overview - Report Title: Pig Daily Report - Date: August 06, 2025 - Industry: Pig Industry 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View - In August, the supply of the pig industry is expected to increase as farmers' enthusiasm for selling pigs is high at the beginning of the month, and the utilization rate of secondary fattening pens remains high. Meanwhile, demand is in the off - season, so the supply - demand relationship will remain relatively loose, and pig prices may continue to face pressure. In the short - term, the nearby futures contract 2509 is following the decline of the spot price. In the medium - to - long - term for the far - month contracts, the pig supply will increase slightly, and contracts 2511 and 2601 are in the peak demand season, so their prices may show a volatile upward trend. Policies such as the anti - involution initiative and the high - quality development of the pig industry are beneficial to the long - term performance of pig prices [9]. 3. Summary by Section 3.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Review**: On August 5, the main pig futures contract 2509 opened flat, then rose, fell back, and fluctuated lower, closing with a negative line. The highest price was 13,980 yuan/ton, the lowest was 13,825 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 13,885 yuan/ton, up 0.04% from the previous day. The total open interest of the index increased by 863 lots to 173,912 lots. The average price of external ternary pigs nationwide was 13.93 yuan/kg, up 0.01 yuan/kg from the previous day [8]. - **Analysis**: On the demand side, the utilization rate of pens is high, the enthusiasm for secondary fattening is average, and terminal demand is weak due to hot weather. The slaughter volume of sample slaughtering enterprises on August 5 was 136,000 heads, 1,000 heads less than the previous day and 1,200 heads less than a week ago. On the supply side, the number of pigs for sale in August may increase month - on - month, and the pressure on sales remains. Overall, the supply - demand relationship is loose, and pig prices may be under pressure. In the futures market, the short - term nearby contract 2509 follows the spot price decline, while the medium - to - long - term far - month contracts may show a volatile upward trend [9]. 3.2 Industry News - As of July 31, the average profit per self - breeding and self - raising pig was 129 yuan/head, a week - on - week decrease of 33 yuan/head; the average profit per pig purchased as a piglet was - 82 yuan/head, a week - on - week decrease of 19 yuan/head [10][12]. 3.3 Data Overview - As of the week of July 31, the average market sales price of 15 - kg piglets was 527 yuan/head, 15 yuan/head lower than the previous week. - The average daily slaughter volume of sample slaughtering enterprises in the week of July 31 was 136,803 heads, a week - on - week increase of 1.99%. - As of the end of the second quarter of 2025, the national pig inventory was 424.47 million heads, a year - on - year increase of 2.2% and a month - on - month increase of 7.16 million heads (1.72%). - As of the week of July 31, the average weight of slaughtered pigs nationwide was 127.98 kg, a week - on - week decrease of 0.5 kg (0.39%) [18].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the pig farming industry has maintained profitability in the first half of the year due to declining breeding costs and some farmers successfully locking in profits through stable operating models [1][2] - In the first half of the year, the average price of live pigs was 15.50 yuan per kilogram, a year-on-year decrease of 0.8%, primarily due to a significant increase in the number of pigs being sold compared to the previous year [1][2] - The slaughter volume of large-scale pig slaughtering enterprises from January to May was 15,349.67 million heads, with May's slaughter volume at 3,215.67 million heads, reflecting a month-on-month increase of 4.5% and a year-on-year increase of 20.6% [1] Group 2 - The recent rebound in pig prices is driven by multiple favorable factors, including the clearance of large pigs and the conversion of some fresh pork to frozen products, which alleviated supply pressure [2] - The average prices of feed and raw materials for pig farming, such as corn and soybean meal, decreased by 9.2%, 8.8%, and 6.4% year-on-year, respectively, contributing to sustained low breeding costs [2] - The overall pig farming industry has been in a downward price cycle for nearly two years, but some local governments have actively supported farmers, leading to stable profits for certain farmers [2] Group 3 - The outlook for pig prices suggests a potential rebound in the third quarter, although the extent of this rebound may be limited due to continued ample production capacity [3] - The number of newborn piglets has been increasing since the second half of last year, indicating that pig supply will remain abundant into the second half of 2025 [3] - Seasonal recovery in pork consumption is expected as the market stabilizes, with government policies encouraging farmers to control the weight of pigs at the time of sale [3]

Market Overview - On June 3, the main pig futures contract 2509 opened slightly lower, peaked at 13645 yuan/ton, and closed at 1510 yuan/ton, down 0.81% from the previous day [1] - The total open interest increased by 3497 contracts to 162323 contracts [1] Supply and Demand Dynamics - The national average price for external three yuan pigs on June 3 was 14.36 yuan/kg, down 0.06 yuan/kg from the previous day [1] - Demand is weakening post-Duanwu Festival, with slaughterhouse orders decreasing and operating rates declining [1] - On June 3, the slaughter volume from sample enterprises was 144,300 heads, down 0.05 thousand heads from the previous day and down 0.7 thousand heads from a week ago [1] - Supply is expected to increase in June, with normal outflows from breeding farms and high weights maintained [1] Profitability and Costs - As of May 23, the average market selling price for 15kg piglets was 627 yuan/head, down 3 yuan from the previous week [1] - The average profit for self-breeding pigs was 138 yuan/head, down 31 yuan week-on-week; for purchased piglets, the profit was 93 yuan/head, down 25 yuan week-on-week [1] - The average slaughter weight as of May 23 was 129.38 kg, down 0.33 kg week-on-week, with a year-on-year increase of 2.91% [1] - The expected cost for self-breeding pigs was 13.09 yuan/kg, stable week-on-week; for purchased piglets, the cost was 15.06 yuan/kg, down 0.03 yuan/kg week-on-week [1]

Group 1: Report Information - Report title: Pig Daily Report [1] - Date: June 04, 2025 [2] - Research team: Agricultural Products Research Team [4] Group 2: Market Review and Operation Suggestions Futures - On June 3, the main 2509 contract of live pigs opened slightly lower, then rose and fell back, closing with a decline. The highest price was 13,645 yuan/ton, the lowest was 13,485 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 1510 yuan/ton, down 0.81% from the previous day. The total open interest of the index increased by 3497 lots to 162,323 lots [6] Spot - On June 3, the average price of ternary pigs nationwide was 14.36 yuan/kg, down 0.06 yuan/kg from the previous day [6] Demand - Currently, the price difference between fat and standard pigs is inverted, and the utilization rate of pigsties is relatively high. The enthusiasm for secondary fattening to replenish the inventory has decreased, and most are waiting and watching. As the temperature rises, terminal demand weakens. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the orders of slaughtering enterprises have significantly decreased, and the operating rate and slaughter volume of slaughtering enterprises have declined. On June 3, the slaughter volume of sample slaughtering enterprises was 144,300 heads, 500 heads less than the previous day and 7000 heads less than a week ago [6] Supply - According to Yongyi sample data, the slaughter volume of the breeding side in June may continue to increase month-on-month. The breeding side slaughters normally, and with the successive slaughter of previously secondarily fattened pigs, the slaughter weight remains high [6] Overall Situation - Overall, supply tends to increase, demand weakens again after the festival, and the supply and demand remain loose. The spot price of live pigs is mainly weak. Pay continued attention to the rhythm of secondary fattening in the later stage. Currently, all futures contracts are at a discount to the spot. Affected by the off-season of demand, loose supply and demand, and the expected slaughter of secondarily fattened pigs, they are mainly weak [6] Group 3: Industry News - According to Yongyi Information data, in the week of May 23, the average market sales price of 15kg piglets was 627 yuan/head, down 3 yuan/head from the previous week [9] - As of May 23, the average profit per self - bred and self - raised pig was 138 yuan/head, a week - on - week decrease of 31 yuan/head; the average profit per pig fattened with purchased piglets was 93 yuan/head, a week - on - week decrease of 25 yuan/head [9] Group 4: Data Overview Average Slaughter Weight - In the week of May 23, the national average slaughter weight was 129.38 kg, down 0.33 kg from the previous week, a week - on - week decline of 0.25%, a month - on - month increase of 0.34%, and a year - on - year increase of 2.91% [18] Slaughter Volume - In the week of May 23, the slaughter volume of the slaughter sample was 1.5964 million heads, 500 less than the previous week, a week - on - week decline of 0.03%; the average daily slaughter volume of the daily slaughter sample was 144,347 heads, 3194 less than the previous week, with an average daily decline of 2.16% [18] Breeding Cost - As of May 23, the expected cost of self - bred and self - raised pigs was 13.09 yuan/kg, remaining the same week - on - week. The cost of fattening pigs with purchased piglets was affected by both feed prices and piglet prices. The expected cost of fattening purchased piglets to 125 kg and then slaughtering was 15.06 yuan/kg, a week - on - week decrease of 0.03 yuan/kg [18]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View - The supply side is facing a double - negative situation of "theoretical supply pressure increase" and "high live - animal inventory". The demand side is expected to weaken seasonally with only limited increase around the Dragon Boat Festival. Overall, the spot price is likely to adjust weakly. For trading, a short - selling strategy is recommended for near - term contracts, while long - buying opportunities on dips can be considered for far - term contracts. The reverse spread strategy of LH2509 - LH2601 contracts should be continuously monitored [2][21]. 3. Summary by Directory 1. Supply Situation Analysis - The live - animal inventory is shifting from "accumulation" to "reduction", but the overall average weight of slaughtered pigs remains high, and there is no significant increase in slaughter volume, indicating slow inventory reduction. From October 2024 to March 2025, the number of newborn piglets increased by 7% year - on - year, suggesting a significant increase in pig slaughter from April to September [21]. 2. Demand Situation Analysis - As the weather gets hotter, demand is expected to weaken seasonally. Although there may be some increase in demand around the Dragon Boat Festival, the increase is limited based on the current market situation [2][21]. 3. Cost - Profit Analysis - The report mentions figures related to self - breeding and self - raising profit per head and profit per head from purchasing piglets, but no specific analysis of cost - profit is provided in the given text. 4. Market Outlook - The analysis of supply and demand is consistent with the previous parts. It is recommended to take a short - selling approach for near - term contracts and look for long - buying opportunities on dips for far - term contracts. Continue to focus on the reverse spread strategy of LH2509 - LH2601 contracts, and investors should pay close attention to factors such as the slaughter rhythm of the breeding side, demand changes, policy orientation, and epidemics [2][21].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Short - term hog prices may fluctuate, and in the medium - to - long - term, hog prices may still hit new lows [4] - The basis is that from sow and piglet data, hog supplies in Q2, Q3, and Q4 of 2025 are abundant, demand support in Q2 and Q3 is weak, current hog slaughter weight is increasing, and although there is uncertainty about new lows in the medium - to - long - term, the short - term market has no strong motivation to reduce weight and the futures price is in a reasonable range [4] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Dynamics - On May 15, the number of registered hog warehouse receipts was 701 lots [2] - The LH2507 contract is mainly about spot - futures convergence and delivery game, and the far - month contracts are fluctuating weakly due to the possible increase in subsequent slaughter volume [2] - The main contract (LH2509) added 5,221 lots today, with a position of about 77,600 lots, a maximum price of 14,015 yuan/ton, a minimum price of 13,735 yuan/ton, and a closing price of 13,780 yuan/ton [2] 3.2 Fundamental Analysis - From the perspective of the number of fertile sows, the hog supply from March to December is expected to increase monthly but with a limited range. From the piglet data, the hog slaughter volume will increase in Q2 and Q3 of 2025. The first half of the year is the off - season for demand, and the second half is the peak season [3] - Based on historical situations and current fundamentals, the fat - standard price difference may fluctuate and adjust [3] - Short - side logic: The breeding side has not reduced weight, subsequent slaughter volume is expected to increase, and demand support in Q2 and Q3 is limited. Long - side logic: There is still room for an increase in frozen product inventory, the spot price is firm, the increase in subsequent slaughter volume is limited, and rising corn and soybean meal prices may increase hog breeding costs [3] 3.3 Strategy Suggestions - The view is that short - term hog prices may fluctuate, and in the medium - to - long - term, there may be new lows [4] - The core logic includes abundant hog supplies in Q2, Q3, and Q4 of 2025, weak demand support in Q2 and Q3, increasing hog slaughter weight indicating inventory accumulation by the breeding side, and although there may be new lows in the medium - to - long - term, due to high uncertainty and weak short - term weight - reduction motivation, it is recommended to wait and see [4] 3.4 Market Overview - On May 15, the national average hog slaughter price was 14.68 yuan/kg, down 0.06 yuan/kg or 0.41% from the previous day. The prices in Henan and Sichuan also decreased [6] - Futures prices of various contracts decreased, with the 09 - contract dropping by 240 yuan/ton or 1.71% [6] - The main basis in Henan increased by 140 yuan/ton or 13.46% [6] 3.5 Key Data Tracking - The report presents data on the closing prices of futures contracts in the past 180 days, the basis of the main hog contract in Henan, the price difference between the 07 - 09 contracts, and the price difference between the 09 - 11 contracts [14]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Short - term hog prices may fluctuate, and in the medium - to - long - term, hog prices may still hit new lows [4] - From sow and piglet data, hog supplies in Q2, Q3, and Q4 of 2025 will be abundant, and there is no basis for a significant increase in hog prices [4] - Demand in Q2 and Q3 provides weak support for hog prices and cannot drive obvious price increases [4] - The current increasing hog slaughter weight indicates that the breeding side is still accumulating inventory, which is bearish for the future market. If there is a concentrated weight reduction later, hog prices may hit new lows [4] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Dynamics - On May 12, 2025, the registered hog warehouse receipts were 704 lots [2] - The LH2507 contract is mainly focused on spot - futures convergence and delivery games, and contradictions in the far - month contracts are still accumulating, with the futures price fluctuating and adjusting [2] - The main contract (LH2509) added 35 lots in positions today, with approximately 71,400 lots held. The highest price was 13,930 yuan/ton, the lowest was 13,855 yuan/ton, and it closed at 13,870 yuan/ton [2] 2. Fundamental Analysis - From the perspective of the number of fertile sows, hog supplies from March to December are expected to increase monthly, but the increase is limited. Piglet data shows that hog slaughter volumes will generally increase in Q2 and Q3 of 2025. In terms of demand, the first half of the year is the off - season, and the second half is the peak season [3] - Based on historical situations and current fundamentals, the fat - standard price difference may fluctuate and adjust [3] - Market bearish logic: The breeding side has not yet reduced weights, which is actually bearish for the future market; subsequent slaughter volumes are expected to continue to increase; Q2 and Q3 are not the consumption peak seasons, and demand support for hog prices is limited [3] - Market bullish logic: There is still room for an increase in frozen - product inventory, which can support hog prices; the spot price is firm, indicating that supply and demand are not as loose as the bears think; although there will be an increase in subsequent slaughter, the increase is limited, and Q3 and Q4 are gradually entering the peak hog consumption season; rising prices of corn and soybean meal may increase hog breeding costs [3] 3. Strategy Recommendations - It is recommended to wait and see for now because although there may be new lows in the spot market in the medium - to - long - term, the uncertainty is high, the short - term weight - reduction driving force in the market is not strong, and the futures price is in a relatively reasonable range [4] 4.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Core Viewpoints of the Report - Short - term pig prices may fluctuate, and there is a possibility of new lows in the medium - to - long - term [2] - It is recommended to wait and see for now due to high uncertainty in the medium - to - long - term and relatively reasonable current futures prices [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Dynamics - On May 7, there were 705 registered pig futures warehouse receipts [3] - The LH2507 contract is mainly about spot - futures convergence and delivery games, and contradictions in far - month contracts are still accumulating with the futures price fluctuating and adjusting [3] - The main contract (LH2509) added 1,403 lots today, with a position of about 72,200 lots, a maximum price of 14,035 yuan/ton, a minimum price of 13,940 yuan/ton, and a closing price of 13,985 yuan/ton [3] Fundamental Analysis - From the perspective of the number of breeding sows, the supply of pigs is expected to increase monthly from March to December, but the increase is limited. Based on piglet data, the number of pig slaughterings will generally increase in the second and third quarters of 2025. The first half of the year is the off - season for demand, while the second half is the peak season [1] - Based on historical and current fundamentals, the fat - standard price difference may fluctuate and adjust [1] - Bearish factors: the breeding side has not reduced the weight of pigs, which is bearish for the future market; the subsequent number of slaughterings is expected to continue to increase; the demand in the second and third quarters is not strong enough to support pig prices. Bullish factors: the inventory of slaughtering enterprises is not complete, which can support pig prices; the spot price is firm, indicating that the supply - demand situation is not as loose as the bears think; although the subsequent number of slaughterings will increase, the increase is limited, and the consumption peak season will gradually arrive in the third and fourth quarters; the rising prices of corn and soybean meal may increase the cost of pig breeding [1] Strategy Suggestions - The short - term pig price may fluctuate, and there is a possibility of new lows in the medium - to - long - term due to sufficient pig supply in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2025, weak demand support, and the breeding side still increasing inventory [2] - It is recommended to wait and see for now because of high uncertainty in the medium - to - long - term, weak short - term weight - reduction motivation, and relatively reasonable futures prices [2] Market Data - On May 7, the national average pig slaughter price was 14.81 yuan/kg, with no change from the previous day. The slaughter price in Henan increased by 0.05 yuan/kg (0.33%) to 15.06 yuan/kg, and that in Sichuan increased by 0.02 yuan/kg (0.14%) to 14.76 yuan/kg [4] - Futures prices of various contracts generally increased slightly on May 7, with the 01 - contract up 0.22%, the 03 - contract up 0.38%, the 07 - contract up 0.26%, the 09 - contract up 0.18%, and the 11 - contract up 0.07%.
