Egg market outlook forecast:From a supply perspective, the current number of newly laid laying hens is still greater than the theoretical number of eliminated chickens. There is still an expectation of an increase in the number of eliminated chickens. The number of eliminated chickens is average, breeding units are eliminated, downstream slaughtering and purchasing enthusiasm is average, and egg supply is relatively sufficient, and the market supply is expected to remain relatively loose. From the demand side, although there is a certain demand for replenishment in the downstream market after the holiday, the boost is limited. The mood of terminal purchase is still relatively cautious. Purchase and sales in all links are taking advantage of the trend, and replenishment is mainly based on demand. Combined with the slight increase in inventory pressure in some areas, the wait-and-see attitude of industry operators is heating up, and the market demand side is expected to perform generally. To sum up, trading in all links is normal, and downstream is following up on demand. It is expected that the egg market will operate steadily tomorrow.
