1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views - Both the hog and egg markets are in a downward - trending phase, and their price centers are expected to decline in the future [2][3]. - For hogs, due to high levels of breeding sows, increased production performance, and high supply pressure in the second half of 2025, along with limited demand boost from economic slowdown and changing consumer preferences, the rebound space for hog prices is limited. Policy disturbances, sufficient supply, and weak demand acceptance lead to weak market sentiment. Short - term hog prices may be weak, and the recommended strategy is to short on rallies [3]. - For eggs, with the inventory of laying hens at a high level year - on - year, continuous supply pressure, and limited demand fluctuations affected by the macro - economy and consumer preferences, the egg price is expected to remain low. The 01 contract is in the demand peak season, but high supply may lead to insufficient demand acceptance. The overall advice is to short on rallies [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Hog Section - **Supply**: - Pork supply depends on the number of hog slaughter and slaughter weight. Since the import accounts for less than 5%, domestic production is the main source. The number of hog slaughter is determined by production capacity, and weight shows seasonal changes within the year. The supply will remain high until the first half of 2026, and attention should be paid to the impact of the slaughter rhythm on short - term supply [9][10]. - The overall slaughter weight is rising as the weather gets colder, and the entry of second - fattening hogs decreases. It is expected to continue rising as the weather further cools and the price difference between fat and standard hogs becomes more obvious [11]. - **Demand**: - In the long - term, pork consumption is related to income, population, and consumption habits; in the medium - term, it has obvious seasonality; in the short - term, it changes with festivals and price fluctuations. Currently, as the weather gets colder, the downstream demand is in the peak season, and the slaughter volume is slowly increasing. Second - fattening and frozen - product storage form short - term demand, but recently, the second - fattening entry is cautious, and the willingness to slaughter en masse is low [23]. - **Cost and Profit**: - As of November 13, the self - breeding and self - raising model's cost is 12.41 yuan/kg, and the cost of purchasing piglets is 13.99 yuan/kg. The breeding industry is in a loss, and the production capacity reduction is slow. Breeders are pessimistic about the future, mainly replacing sows, and increasing the elimination of high - parity sows [36][37]. - **Policy**: - The state uses reserve purchases and sales to regulate market supply and demand and stabilize the hog market. Currently, the market is in the second - level early - warning range of excessive price decline, and the third batch of central pork reserve purchases will be launched [44]. - **Spreads and Basis**: - A series of data on hog spreads and basis are provided, including the basis of different contracts in Henan and various inter - contract spreads, with daily - updated data [52][61][67]. 3.2 Egg Section - **Supply**: - Egg supply is determined by the inventory of laying hens and the egg - laying rate. Since the beginning of 2025, the enthusiasm for replenishment has weakened, and the new production in the fourth quarter will decline. At the same time, the number of culled hens has increased due to low egg prices. Although the inventory of laying hens may decline in the fourth quarter, it will still be at a high level year - on - year, and the egg supply is sufficient. Attention should be paid to the culling situation [73]. - Recently, replenishment has been weak, the culling sentiment has declined, the inventory of laying hens remains high, and the egg supply is still abundant. The feed cost has rebounded slightly, and the overall breeding cost is around 3.2 - 3.3 yuan/jin [74][75]. - **Demand**: - In the long - term, egg consumption is related to population, economy, and consumer preferences, showing a steady growth trend. In the medium - and short - term, it has obvious seasonality, with peaks before traditional festivals. Currently, the demand is in the off - season, and after the end of e - commerce promotions, the demand boost is not obvious, but high vegetable prices still provide some support [85]. - **Spreads and Basis**: - Data on egg spreads and basis are provided, including inter - contract spreads and the basis of different contracts in Hebei, with daily - updated data [100].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The hog market is in a phase of oscillatory decline, and the price center is expected to decrease in the later stage. The supply of hogs is increasing due to a persistently high inventory of breeding sows and improved production performance. Although the demand is expected to seasonally pick up in the second half of 2025, the boost may be limited due to slow economic development and changing consumer preferences. Policy disturbances, sufficient supply, and insufficient demand may lead to weak short - term hog prices. It is recommended to short on rallies [3]. - The egg market is also in an oscillatory decline, and the price center is expected to remain low. The inventory of laying hens is at a high level year - on - year, and the supply pressure persists. The demand has seasonal changes, but is limited by the macro - economy and consumer preferences. The 01 contract is in the peak demand season, but the high supply is expected to outpace the demand, so the overall market is still under pressure. It is recommended to short on rallies [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Hog Section 3.1.1 Supply - **Capacity and long - term supply**: The inventory of breeding sows has been stable at around 40.5 million since June 2024, higher than the official normal level of 30 million. The supply will remain high until the first half of 2026, and attention should be paid to the impact of the farmers' slaughter rhythm on short - term supply [10]. - **Weight and short - term supply**: As the weather turns cold, the overall weight of hogs has increased, and the slaughter rhythm is normal. The overall slaughter weight is expected to continue to rise as the weather gets colder and the price difference between fat and standard hogs becomes more obvious [11]. 3.1.2 Demand - With the colder weather, the downstream demand has entered the peak season, and the slaughter volume is slowly increasing. In addition to actual demand, secondary fattening and frozen product storage form short - term apparent demand. Recently, the secondary fattening has been cautious, and the willingness to concentrate on slaughter is not high [23]. 3.1.3 Cost and Profit - As of November 13, 2025, the breeding cost of large - scale farms in the self - breeding and self - raising mode is 12.41 yuan/kg, and that in the mode of purchasing piglets is 13.99 yuan/kg. The breeding enterprises are in a loss state, and the capacity reduction is slow [36]. 3.1.4 Policy - The state will start the third batch of central pork reserve purchases to promote a reasonable rebound in hog prices. There have been multiple rounds of central reserve frozen pork rotation and purchase and storage transactions in the past [44][45]. 3.1.5 Spread and Basis - The report provides data on various hog spreads and bases, such as the 01, 03, 05, 07, 09, 11 contract bases in Henan, and the 1 - 3, 3 - 5, 5 - 7, 7 - 9, 9 - 11, 11 - 1, 1 - 5 spreads [52][67][69]. 3.2 Egg Section 3.2.1 Supply - The supply of eggs is determined by the inventory of laying hens and the laying rate. Since 2025, the enthusiasm for replenishment has weakened, and the number of newly - opened layers in the fourth quarter is expected to decrease. At the same time, the number of culled hens has increased due to low egg prices. The inventory of laying hens may decline in the fourth quarter but will still remain high year - on - year, resulting in sufficient egg supply [73]. 3.2.2 Demand - In the long - term, egg consumption is related to population, economic development, and consumer preferences, showing a steady growth trend. In the short - and medium - term, egg demand has obvious seasonality. Currently, it is the off - season, and although the demand has increased year - on - year, the seasonal demand change is still significant. The end of e - commerce promotions has failed to boost the demand significantly, but the high vegetable prices still provide some support [85]. 3.2.3 Cost - The recent feed cost has rebounded slightly, and the overall breeding cost has not fluctuated much, currently around 3.2 - 3.3 yuan/jin [75]. 3.2.4 Spread and Basis - The report provides data on various egg spreads and bases, such as the 1 - 5, 5 - 9, 9 - 1 spreads, and the 01, 05, 09, 10, 11, 12 contract bases in Hebei [100].

Group 1: Report Information - Report Type: Pig Daily Report [1] - Date: November 13, 2025 [2] Group 2: Market Review and Operation Suggestions Futures Market - On the 12th, the main 2601 contract of live pigs opened slightly lower and then fluctuated higher, closing in the positive territory. The highest price was 11,845 yuan/ton, the lowest was 11,720 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 11,795 yuan/ton, down 0.55% from the previous day. The total open interest of the index decreased by 8,615 lots to 359,930 lots [6]. Spot Market - On the 12th, the average price of ternary pigs nationwide was 11.75 yuan/kg, down 0.12 yuan/kg from the previous day [6]. Market Analysis - Supply side: In the long term, pig slaughter is expected to maintain a slight increase until the first half of next year. The concentrated second - fattening and pig holding in October increased the supply pressure before the Spring Festival. In the short term, according to Yongyi sample data, the planned sales volume in November was 26.66 million heads, a month - on - month decrease of 3.27% compared with the actual sales volume in October, and the daily average was flat. Currently, farmers are slaughtering at a normal pace [7]. - Demand side: With the rebound of spot prices and the high utilization rate of pigsties, second - fattening is mainly in a wait - and - see state. As the weather continues to cool, terminal consumer demand continues to rise, but the continuous increase is insufficient. The orders of slaughtering enterprises are average, and the operating rate and slaughter volume of slaughtering enterprises fluctuate slightly. Mid - to - late November may see a slight increase in bacon curing and sausage making. On November 12th, the slaughter volume of sample slaughtering enterprises was 164,100 heads, an increase of 17,000 heads from the previous day, a week - on - week increase of 5,000 heads, and a month - on - month increase of 5,000 heads [7]. - Overall: In the spot market, supply is stable and demand increases slightly, but with second - fattening in a wait - and - see state, the support for prices is weak, and the market is expected to fluctuate. In the futures market, the supply of live pigs before the Spring Festival is expected to increase slightly. The demand elasticity of the 2601 contract still exists, but the relatively concentrated second - fattening and pig holding in October, along with farmers' reluctance to sell and the continuous release of production capacity, may form double supply pressure before the Spring Festival, and the market is expected to be weak in the medium - to - long - term [7]. Group 3: Industry News - As of October 30th, the average profit per self - breeding and self - raising pig was - 34.5 yuan/head, a month - on - month increase of 20 yuan/head; the profit of purchasing piglets for fattening was - 258 yuan/head, a month - on - month increase of 50 yuan/head [8][10] Group 4: Data Overview - As of October 31st, the utilization rate of fattening pigsties was 55.5%, a month - on - month increase of 21.2 percentage points, and the same as the previous year [15]. - As of the end of October, the price difference between 175 - kg fat pigs and standard pigs was 0.71 yuan/jin, a month - on - month increase of 0.36 yuan/jin [15]. - As of the end of October, the cost of fattening 110 - kg pigs to 140 kg was 12.18 yuan/kg, a decrease of 0.58 yuan/kg from the previous month; the cost of fattening 125 - kg pigs to 150 kg was 12.63 yuan/kg, a decrease of 0.44 yuan/kg from the previous month [15]. - In October, the average slaughter weight of pigs nationwide was 128.1 kg, a decrease of 0.3 kg from September, a month - on - month decrease of 0.23%, and an increase of 2.2 kg compared with the same period last year, a year - on - year increase of 1.75% [15]. - In September, the slaughter volume of large - scale designated pig slaughtering enterprises nationwide was 35.84 million heads, a month - on - month increase of 7% and a year - on - year increase of 28.5% [15].

Report Industry Investment Rating There is no relevant content provided in the given documents. Core Viewpoints - In October 2025, after a sharp decline, the pig price rebounded. However, farmers' reluctance to sell due to pressure on holding pigs still causes concerns before the Spring Festival. The group enterprises' volume reduction and price support, combined with the second - fattening support, have relieved the near - end pressure. But with a high basic inventory this year, there are still great concerns about the year - end pig price. [1][3] - The current open interest of the live hog index has reached a record high of 320,000 lots, with nearly 10 billion yuan of settled funds. The market is highly divided. The forward curve shows a contango structure, and the near - end futures price has a large discount to the spot price. The futures price reflects a certain pessimistic expectation of the year - end slaughter pressure. Given that the absolute price has fallen below the cash cost of some farmers, short - selling should be cautious. [3] - The reduction of live hog production capacity mainly occurs in two stages: first, reducing the slaughter weight, which was initially achieved in October this year mainly by reducing pressure on holding pigs and shortening the breeding time; second, reducing the capacity of breeding sows, which is driven by the passive elimination of breeding sows by farmers when the piglet slaughter incurs significant losses. [3] - Looking forward to the end of 2025, the feed sector lacks strong positive factors, and the continuously decreasing live hog breeding cost leads to a slow reduction of production capacity. The cyclical pressure of the sector is an important factor dragging down the pig price. The current industry is in the first stage of weight reduction, and there is still a long way to go before entering the second stage of reducing the inventory of breeding sows. [5] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 2025 October and November Review and Outlook - In the context of capacity reduction in October 2025, the industry as a whole started to reduce the slaughter weight. The hog - grain ratio has fallen below 5:1, and the piglet price has dropped to around 175 yuan per head. The rapid deterioration of breeding profits will drive the industry into the capacity reduction stage. [3][5] - The expected increase in feed imports after the smooth progress of the new round of Sino - US negotiations in October has limited impact on the near - end pig price. The current group enterprises still have room to reduce the breeding cost, but the average industry cost is still around 13 yuan per kilogram. [4] 2025 Fourth - Quarter Outlook - The futures and spot price trends are expected to remain at the bottom due to the lack of strong positive factors on the supply side. The 2601 contract is recommended to be observed, and it is advisable to buy the 2607 contract on dips below 12,000 points in the medium term. For options, a covered call strategy combination can be held. [5] 2025 October Live Hog Futures and Spot Price Review - In October 2025, the agricultural product index fell to a new low for the year, with the feed and breeding industry chain leading the decline. The live hog spot price broke through the support level and hit a new low for the same period in recent years, and the piglet price accelerated its decline.
