Industry - The industry under research is the egg industry [1] Report Date - The report was published on December 22, 2025 [2] Research Team - The research team consists of Yu Lanlan, Lin Zhenlei, Wang Haifeng, Hong Chenliang, and Liu Youran [4] Investment Rating - No investment rating was provided in the report Core Viewpoints - In the short - term, the spot price of eggs is expected to fluctuate slightly, with neither significant upward nor downward trends. The futures market has already priced in the expected increase in egg prices due to the decline in next year's egg - laying hen inventory. It is recommended that long - position investors wait for the far - month contracts to fully adjust before entering the market and adopt a rolling operation strategy. The near - month contracts may experience low - level fluctuations, awaiting guidance from the spot price increase in January [8] Summary by Section 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Review**: On the reporting day, the national egg price remained stable. The average price in the main production areas was 3.05 yuan per catty, unchanged from the previous day, and the average price in the main sales areas was 3.32 yuan per catty, also unchanged. The 01 contract rose 0.26%. The 2601 contract closed at 3077, up 8 or 0.26%; the 2602 contract closed at 2886, down 30 or - 1.03%; the 2603 contract closed at 2946, down 35 or - 1.17% [7] - **Operation Suggestions**: Wait for the far - month contracts to fully adjust before entering the market with long positions and use a rolling operation strategy. The near - month contracts may experience low - level fluctuations, waiting for the spot price increase in January to guide them [8] 2. Industry News - **Inventory**: As of the end of November 2025, the national monthly inventory of laying hens was about 1.352 billion, a month - on - month decrease of 0.52%, ending the previous continuous growth. However, it was still 5.3% higher than the same period last year, indicating significant supply - side pressure [9] - **Replenishment**: In November 2025, the monthly output of laying hen chicks from sample enterprises was about 39.55 million, slightly higher than 39.15 million in October but 13.5% lower than the same period in 2024. The total replenishment from August to November 2025 was about 157.71 million, compared with about 180.11 million in the same period last year [9] 3.

Report Summary 1. Reported Industry - The report focuses on the egg industry [1] 2. Core Viewpoints - The spot market for eggs has stabilized after a period of slight weakness, with expectations of a small peak season in mid - to late December due to double - holiday stocking. Spot prices are expected to fluctuate slightly, with neither significant downward nor upward trends. Futures were relatively weak last week, especially after the egg price in Hubei adjusted downward on Friday. The decline of peak - season contracts is a correction of the previous influx of long positions. Although there are signs of a turning point in the laying - hen inventory, the impact on egg prices will be delayed. The near - month contracts are affected, and the market is currently dominated by short positions. New short positions can focus on the 02 contract, while long positions can consider far - month peak - season contracts after the correction [8] 3. Section Summaries 3.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Review**: Today, the national egg price remained stable. The average price in the main production areas was 3.05 yuan/jin, unchanged from yesterday, and in the main sales areas, it was 3.32 yuan/jin, also unchanged. The 01 contract fell 0.77%. The 2601 contract closed at 3092, down 24 or 0.77%; the 2602 contract closed at 2927, down 9 or 0.31%; the 2603 contract closed at 3008, down 12 or 0.40% [7] - **Operation Suggestions**: New short positions can focus on the 02 contract due to the post - holiday off - season and the lack of a clear upward trend in the spot market. Long positions can look for entry opportunities in far - month peak - season contracts after the correction, using rolling operations. The 01 contract should focus on the stabilization of egg prices after the decline, and its correlation with the spot market will increase in the future [8] 3.2 Industry News - **Inventory**: As of the end of October 2025, the national monthly inventory of laying hens was about 1.359 billion, a 0.66% month - on - month decrease, ending the previous continuous growth trend, but still higher than the same period in 2024 [9] - **Replenishment**: In October 2025, the monthly output of laying - hen chicks from sample enterprises was about 39.15 million, slightly less than in September 2025 and significantly less than the same period in 2024. The total replenishment from July to October 2025 was about 158.14 million, less than the same period last year [9][10] 3.3 Data Overview - **Culling Quantity**: From the three weeks up to November 20, 2025, the national culling quantities were 19.81 million, 19.47 million, and 20.21 million respectively, showing fluctuations but a slight increase overall [15] - **Culling Age**: As of November 20, 2025, the average culling age was 492 days, 1 day earlier than the previous week and 7 days earlier than the previous month, indicating an accelerated culling speed [15]

Report Overview - Reported industry: Eggs [1] - Date: December 17, 2025 [2] - Research team: Agricultural Products Research Team [4] - Researchers: Yu Lanlan, Lin Zhenlei, Wang Haifeng, Hong Chenliang, Liu Youran [4] Report Key Points Investment Rating - No investment rating provided in the report Core View - The spot market for eggs stabilized last week after a continuous slight decline. The powder egg area represented by Hubei rebounded first, and other regions saw a slight increase. Overall, the spot market is slightly stronger, with normal sales and inventory levels. In December, the market is expected to enter a small peak season with the anticipation of double holiday stocking, and the spot price is expected to fluctuate slightly, with neither significant downward nor upward trends. [8] - The futures market was relatively weak last week. After the egg price in Hubei declined on Friday, the near - term 01 contract dropped significantly. The decline of the peak - season contracts is mainly a correction of the previous influx of long positions. Although the inventory of laying hens has shown a turning point, due to the large base, the impact on egg prices will be delayed and there may be fluctuations. The near - term contracts were affected, showing that the market is currently dominated by short positions. New short positions can focus on the 02 contract, which faces greater pressure due to the post - holiday off - season and the lack of a clear upward trend in the spot market. Long positions can still consider entering the far - term peak - season contracts after this correction, mainly through rolling operations. The near - term 01 contract should focus on the stabilization of egg prices after a decline, with its future performance being more correlated with the spot market. [8] Summary by Directory 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Review**: The prices of egg futures contracts showed different trends. The 2601 contract rose 0.19% to 3114, the 2602 contract fell 0.24% to 2928, and the 2603 contract fell 0.73% to 3007. The average price of eggs in the main production areas was 3.05 yuan/jin, down 0.02 yuan/jin from the previous day, and the average price in the main sales areas was 3.32 yuan/jin, unchanged from the previous day. [7] - **Operation Suggestions**: New short positions can focus on the 02 contract, and long positions can consider rolling operations in the far - term peak - season contracts after the correction. The near - term 01 contract should focus on the stabilization of egg prices after a decline. [8] 2. Industry News - **Inventory**: As of the end of October 2025, the monthly inventory of laying hens in China was about 1.359 billion, a month - on - month decrease of 0.66%, ending the previous continuous growth trend, but a year - on - year increase of 5.59% compared to the end of October 2024.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings There is no information provided regarding the industry investment ratings in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Oils and Fats - Palm oil: Malaysian palm oil futures may face downward pressure if they cannot hold above 4,100 ringgit, with support at 4,000 ringgit. In China, Dalian palm oil futures could break down due to bearish fundamentals, with support around 8,000 yuan. - Soybean oil: The US EIA has lowered its forecasts for renewable diesel production in 2025 and 2026. However, the Fed's potential rate cuts and the rebound of BMD palm oil support CBOT soybean oil. In China, the spot basis is shifting to the May contract, and the first - quarter soybean imports are expected to decrease, which may reduce factory soybean oil inventories [1]. Meals - US soybeans: Lack trading highlights, with slow - growing Chinese demand and high crushing demand. South American new crops are progressing well with strong harvest expectations. The market is not optimistic about medium - to - long - term US soybean prices. - Domestic soybean meal: The loose supply pattern continues, but the market is speculating on longer soybean customs clearance times, and the 1 - 5 positive spread has strengthened. The spot pressure remains, but the future supply is expected to tighten [2]. Pigs - The market has some reluctance to sell, and the spot price is stable. The southern curing demand is increasing, but there are uncertainties in the December - January market due to the potential impact of the epidemic and secondary fattening. The overall supply pressure is large, and the price is hard to improve. The futures market is struggling to rise and has fallen in the past two days [4]. Sugar - ICE raw sugar futures are under pressure below 15 cents per pound. Indian sugar production in Maharashtra is increasing. The overall raw sugar price is bearish. In China, the sugar price is weak due to the accelerated sugar - cane crushing in Guangxi and Yunnan, and the market is expected to remain in a weak - oscillating pattern [8][9]. Corn - North port corn prices rose slightly due to insufficient arrivals, while prices in the Northeast and North China were stable to weak. The demand side is cautious, with deep - processing and feed enterprises mainly making purchases based on rigid needs. The short - term corn futures are expected to oscillate, and the follow - up supply volume should be monitored [10]. Eggs - The supply of eggs is relatively sufficient, although the November national laying - hen inventory decreased slightly. The market has a normal sales speed, but the demand is weak. Egg prices are expected to oscillate weakly with limited downside [14]. Cotton - ICE cotton futures fell due to weak US export demand. In China, Zhengzhou cotton faces increasing hedging pressure during the price increase, but the downstream demand is relatively strong, and the price decline space may be limited. Attention should be paid to the 14,000 pressure level [16]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Report Core Views Oils and Fats Industry - Palm oil may face a risk of weakening and falling after a short - term rebound, maintaining a near - strong and far - weak view. Domestic Dalian palm oil futures were boosted by Malaysian palm oil in the early session. - For soybean oil, the demand from the US renewable fuel industry remains resilient, but the international crude oil decline may drag down CBOT soybean oil. In the domestic market, the short - term market may be dragged down, but the import cost of soybeans will support the market and limit the decline of the basis. - The supply of domestic soybean meal remains loose overall, but the supply in some regions is tightening, and the basis has short - term support. The unilateral market is unlikely to show an upward trend, and it is expected to maintain a volatile pattern [1]. Pig Industry - The supply - side pressure may be less than previously expected, but the demand lacks highlights. The price of pigs is expected to maintain a volatile and weak structure. The strategy of inter - month reverse arbitrage can continue to be held, and the unilateral price is expected to continue to bottom out [3]. Meal Industry - The domestic soybean meal market remains in a loose pattern, but the supply in some regions is tightening, providing short - term support for the basis. It is difficult to see an upward trend in the unilateral market. The market should continue to focus on domestic purchases of US and Brazilian soybeans, and soybean meal is expected to maintain a volatile trend with light short - term trading [6]. Corn and Corn Starch Industry - In the short term, the futures price is strong and hits a new high due to tight supply and strong spot prices. Attention should be paid to the rhythm of corn supply and inventory changes. If they recover, it will limit the price increase space [8]. Sugar Industry - ICE raw sugar futures closed lower, and the raw sugar remains in a weak trend. Zhengzhou sugar is expected to maintain a volatile and weak trend [12]. Cotton Industry - In the short term, the cotton price will fluctuate within a range. ICE cotton futures closed slightly lower, supported by the weakening US dollar. In the domestic market, the purchase price of seed cotton is falling, and Zhengzhou cotton faces hedging pressure, but the support below is still strong [13].

However, due to the weekend price increase falling short of expectations, there was a weak correction today. Traders are willing to wait for the small peak season, reducing supply pressure. The 01 contract is in the peak - season contract, while the 02 is in the absolute off - season. If egg prices strengthen, one can focus on the potential opportunity of the 1 - 2 spread widening, and short - sellers are advised to lay out in post - festival contracts [8]. 2.

Report Summary 1. Reported Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The spot price of eggs in the country remained stable today, with the average price in the main producing areas at 2.99 yuan/jin and that in the main consuming areas at 3.23 yuan/jin, up 0.03 yuan/jin from yesterday. The 01 contract rose 0.73%. After the spot price stabilized in the previous few days, it increased in some areas today. The futures market rose strongly, mainly due to the anticipation being factored in early. As the spot price has reached a phased bottom and the demand expectation for the double festivals in December is hard to disprove, the market generally believes that the egg price may be slightly stronger in early December. Traders are willing to wait for the subsequent small peak season to sell, reducing the supply pressure. Attention should be paid to whether the spot price will rise as expected this weekend and next week. If the egg price continues to strengthen, there may be an opportunity to expand the 1 - 2 spread, and short - sellers are advised to lay out positions in post - festival contracts. The 01 contract's rebound is based on phased expectations, and its sustainability depends on the spot market [8]. 3.
