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.

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.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View 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 reasons include sufficient hog supply in Q2, Q3, and Q4 of 2025, weak demand support in Q2 and Q3, increasing hog slaughter weight indicating inventory accumulation by the farming end, and potential price drops if concentrated weight reduction occurs [4] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Dynamics - On April 28, the registered warehouse receipts of live hogs were 705 lots [2] - The LH2505 contract is mainly about spot - futures convergence and delivery games. The far - month contracts are strongly supported by the expectations of limited subsequent slaughter increase, the consumption peak season in the second half of the year, and potential increases in far - month farming costs [2] - The main contract (LH2509) added 1071 lots in positions today, with a position of about 73,400 lots, a maximum price of 14,230 yuan/ton, a minimum price of 14,100 yuan/ton, and a closing price of 14,130 yuan/ton [2] 3.2 Fundamental Analysis - From the perspective of the inventory of breeding sows, the hog supply is expected to increase month - by - month from March to December, but the increase is limited. According to the piglet data, the hog slaughter volume will generally increase in Q2 and Q3 of 2025. In terms of demand, the first half of the year is the off - season, while the second half is the peak season [3] - Based on historical and current fundamentals, there is still room for the fat - standard price difference to decline [3] - Short - side logic: The farming end has not yet reduced the weight, which is actually bearish for the future market; subsequent slaughter volume is expected to continue to increase; Q2 and Q3 are not the consumption peak seasons, and demand support for hog prices is limited. Long - side logic: Slaughterhouses' inventory replenishment is not over, which can support hog prices; the spot price is firm, indicating that the supply - demand situation is not as loose as the short - side thinks; although there will be an increase in subsequent slaughter, the increase is limited, and Q3 and Q4 will gradually enter the hog consumption peak season; rising prices of corn and soybean meal may increase hog farming costs [3] 3.3 Strategy Suggestions - Short - term hog prices may fluctuate, and in the medium - to - long - term, hog prices may still hit new lows. The core logic is that hog supply is abundant in Q2, Q3, and Q4 of 2025, demand support in Q2 and Q3 is weak, the current hog slaughter weight is still increasing, indicating inventory accumulation by the farming end. If there is concentrated weight reduction later, hog prices may hit new lows. However, due to high uncertainty and weak short - term weight - reduction drive in the market, and the futures price being in a relatively reasonable range, it is recommended to wait and see for now [4] 3.4 Market Overview - On April 28, the national average hog slaughter price was 14.73 yuan/kg, a decrease of 0.05 yuan/kg or 0.34% from April 25.
