Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - The current live hog spot price is in the second bottoming stage of the current bearish price cycle of live hogs [32]. - In the first half of 2026, the pressure of live hog slaughter continues [33]. - The current industry weight level is high, indicating a large inventory pressure of live hogs, and the industry inventory pressure still needs to be further digested [33]. - Since entering the capacity reduction stage in July/August 2025, the cumulative capacity reduction is only 1% - 2%, and the capacity reduction is insufficient. The hog price is expected to remain in the low - range and the breeding loss state in the next few months to promote further capacity reduction in the industry [34]. - In the short term, the hog price does not have the conditions for a cyclical reversal, but there are many potential supporting factors. In the long term, the continuous promotion of capacity reduction in the live hog industry will be beneficial to the gradual recovery of the forward price. The near - month contracts on the futures market reflect the weak reality, while the far - month contracts are more in the stage of expected trading. It is recommended to wait for the premium of far - month contracts over near - month contracts to narrow and then make low - position layouts [34]. Summary by Directory Supply Pressure and Price Bottoming - After the Spring Festival, the live hog spot price bottomed out for the second time. As of February 25, 2026, the national average live hog slaughter price was 10.77 yuan/kg, breaking the low point of the first bottoming after the National Day in 2025 (10.84 yuan/kg on October 13, 2025). From October 2025 to February 2026, the live hog spot price rebounded to a maximum of 13.3 yuan/kg [1]. - The second bottoming of the hog price after the Spring Festival is due to the seasonal off - peak of pork consumption demand and low slaughter volume after the Spring Festival. Also, since the last cycle of live hog production capacity recovery peaked around July/August 2025 and it takes about 10 months from sows to live hog slaughter, the live hog slaughter volume is expected to continue to increase until May/June 2026 [3]. - As of January 2026, the cumulative capacity reduction was 1.6% according to Shanghai Ganglian data (1.52% for large - scale farms and 3.97% for small and medium - sized散户). According to Yongyi Consulting data, the cumulative capacity reduction of sows in Yongyi sample 1 was only 0.43%, and in sample 2 was 0.75%. The overall cumulative capacity reduction from the second half of 2025 to early 2026 was small [5][7]. - The monthly number of newborn piglets can be used to predict the trend of live hog slaughter volume 6 months later. The data shows that October 2025 was a phased high point in the upward trend of the number of piglets [10]. High Slaughter Weight and Inventory Pressure - Historically, the bottom of the hog price often shows a "W" - shaped double - bottom feature. The report lists the historical bottom times and prices of hog prices under different data calibers [12][13]. - By tracking the performance of live hog slaughter weight at the cyclical bottom, it is found that the current slaughter weight is still higher than the historical cyclical bottom. As of February 27, 2026, the average slaughter weight was 123.06 kg according to Ganglian data, and as of February 26, 2026, it was 127.73 kg according to Yongyi data, indicating a high level of live hog inventory [16][17]. Short - term Potential Support Factors - Under the high fat - to - standard price difference, potential penning and secondary fattening may slow down the slaughter rhythm. As of February 26, 2026, the price difference between 150 - kg fat hogs and standard hogs was 0.8 yuan/kg, and that between 175 - kg fat hogs and standard hogs was 1.46 yuan/kg. The utilization rate of secondary fattening pens before the Spring Festival was about 20% in major secondary fattening provinces [20]. - Potential frozen pork storage: The current frozen pork inventory rate is at a seasonal low. As of February 12, 2026, the frozen pork inventory rate was 17.18%, down from the high of 20.59% in the fourth quarter of 2025. The spring price low of live hog spot is likely to trigger frozen pork storage [22]. - Potential policy - based frozen pork purchase and storage: When the hog price falls to a low level, the policy may implement a frozen pork purchase and storage plan. The hog - to - grain ratio has been between 5:1 and 6:1 for several months, and the hog price is in the second - level early warning range of excessive decline, with the condition to start purchase and storage as appropriate [24][26]. Long - term Price Recovery - In the long run, the driving force for the cyclical reversal and upward trend of the hog price comes from the industry's capacity reduction under the loss situation. As of February 27, 2026, the self - breeding and self - raising profit was - 160 yuan/head, the profit of purchasing piglets for breeding was 21 yuan/head, and the gross profit of selling piglets was 43.39 yuan/head [28]. - Considering factors such as the loss time and depth, the current capacity reduction in the live hog industry is insufficient. It is expected that the hog price will remain at a low level for a long time to promote capacity reduction [31].

Group 2: EU's Anti-Dumping Practices - The EU has been actively conducting anti-dumping investigations against Chinese products across various sectors, including metals, smart devices, and chemicals, reflecting a trend of increasing trade tensions [5][13]. - The EU's concerns stem from China's competitive edge in sectors like solar energy and photovoltaic products, where it has achieved global leadership, prompting the EU to seek trade barriers to protect its own industries [5][13]. - The EU's approach is influenced by external pressures, including the trade protectionism exhibited by the Trump administration, which has led to a more cautious stance towards China [5][13]. Group 3: Trade Dynamics Between China and the EU - The anti-dumping measures from both sides represent a "rules contest" in global trade, highlighting the contradictions in the EU's stance, which claims market distortion while relying heavily on the Chinese market [6][14]. - China’s anti-dumping actions are characterized as defensive, adhering to legal procedures and aiming to ensure fair trade rather than outright protectionism [8][16]. - The imposition of duties on EU pork is seen as a means to encourage the EU to reconsider its trade strategies, focusing on quality competition rather than price undercutting [8][16].
