1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Supply side: Considering planned出栏量, large pigs, piglets, and the inventory of breeding sows, pig出栏量 is expected to increase slightly until June next year and decline slightly in July. Year-on-year growth in pig出栏量 started in May this year and will continue until July next year. In November, the出栏量 of the breeding side may continue to increase, and the出栏 weight will increase seasonally. The concentrated entry of secondary fattening in October, combined with the release of production capacity, may create dual supply pressure before the Spring Festival [10]. - Demand side: In November, as the weather cools, the demand for curing and enema will increase slightly, and consumer demand will continue to rise. However, the overall increase will be limited. The demand for secondary fattening may decline, weakening the support for prices [10]. - Outlook: Spot prices are expected to fluctuate as supply and demand both increase. Futures prices are expected to be weak and fluctuate, mainly due to the potential dual supply pressure before the Spring Festival, but the impact of curing and enema on demand needs to be monitored [10]. - Strategies: Futures investors are advised to hold short positions or short on rallies with stop-loss. Breeding enterprises are advised to hold hedging short positions [10]. 3.
