1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall view of the report is that the price of live pigs will experience a shock adjustment [4]. - Based on sow and piglet data, the supply of live pigs will be abundant by December, making it difficult for pig prices to rise significantly [4]. - The price difference between 150Kg pigs and standard pigs is expected to continue to strengthen seasonally, which will support pig prices to some extent [4]. - If the price remains weak, a negative cycle may form. If this cycle occurs, the pig price is expected to rebound at the end of the year, and investors can consider reverse arbitrage between the 11 - 01 contracts [4]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Dynamics - On October 14, the registered warehouse receipts of live pigs on the Dalian Commodity Exchange were 90 lots [2]. - There is currently no upward driving force for short - term spot prices, and attention should be paid to when the spot market shows oversold signals [2]. - On October 14, the LH2511 contract of live pigs reduced its position by 8,606 lots, with a position of approximately 48,700 lots. The highest price was 11,470 yuan/ton, the lowest price was 11,200 yuan/ton, and the closing price was 11,450 yuan/ton [2]. 3.2 Fundamental Analysis - From the perspective of the inventory of reproductive sows, the supply of live pigs in the fourth quarter may be similar to that in the third quarter. According to piglet data, the overall slaughter volume of live pigs in the third and fourth quarters of 2025 will increase oscillatingly. In terms of the demand side, consumption in the second half of the year is better than that in the first half [3]. - Historically, the price difference between fat and standard pigs may strengthen oscillatingly [3]. - The short - side logic includes: the slaughter weight has not decreased, the "inventory" pressure has not been fully released; the subsequent slaughter volume remains high; the demand from October to November is not strong enough to support pig prices. The long - side logic includes: the weight reduction by farmers in the early stage is beneficial for the future market; consumption is expected to gradually improve after the weather turns cold; although the subsequent slaughter volume will increase, the increase is limited [3]. 3.3 Strategy Suggestions - The view is shock adjustment [4]. - The core logic is that without considering early or delayed slaughter by farmers, the slaughter volume of live pigs is expected to increase monthly until December, so it is difficult for pig prices to rise significantly due to abundant supply. The price difference between 150Kg pigs and standard pigs is expected to continue to strengthen seasonally, which will support pig prices. If the price remains weak, a negative cycle may form, and if so, the pig price is expected to rebound at the end of the year, and investors can consider reverse arbitrage between the 11 - 01 contracts (for reference only) [4]. 3.4 Market Overview - On October 14, the national average live pig slaughter price was 10.89 yuan/kg, an increase of 0.05 yuan/kg or 0.46% compared to the previous day.
