The price of meat and eggs rises and the tide of prices will come to an inflection point?

According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in September, the national consumer price level rose by 6.1% year-on-year, which was lower than market expectations.

At the same time, the prices of agricultural products such as eggs and vegetables all declined.

With the drop in food prices, can CPI in October go lower? Analysts gave a positive reply to this, but at the same time, they said inflationary pressures should not be underestimated. Peng Sen, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said in public recently that since August, the general level of price increases began to fall, the characteristics of the price run inflection points have been confirmed during the year, and it is expected that the CPI increase in the next two months of this year can be controlled below 5.0%.

The price of eggs is similar to the market statistics of seawater ebb tide emerging markets. In recent days, the price of vegetables has dropped significantly. The price of eggs has dropped by nearly 10% from the previous month. Its trend is likened to the ebb of seawater.

Here, the price of eggs has dropped to 4.7 yuan per catty, which is more than 20% cheaper than the price of nearly 6 yuan per catty at the end of May. The prices of eggs, pork, and some vegetables have also declined in varying degrees.

In addition, small canola, pakchoi, parsley, spinach, and celery last week had a 20%-50% drop from the previous week.

In addition to vegetables, the price of eggs also decreased significantly from last month. On October 21st, the wholesale price of eggs at the Xinfadi market was 4.17 yuan/kg, which was 9.54% lower than the 4.61 yuan/kg on September 21st.

Liu Tong introduced that at present, the price of eggs is similar to that of seawater, and it is expected that the trend of egg prices will fluctuate in the later period.

The monitoring of the price cuts of pork after the holiday period has shown that since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the price of pork has been on a downward trend as a whole, and after the National Day, the deceleration has accelerated. More than 80% of the country’s meat prices have declined in the provinces, regions and cities.

According to Xinhua News Agency, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the price of pork in more than 80% of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in China has dropped. About 60% of the prices of eggs in provinces, regions, and cities have dropped to less than RMB 5 per catty.

According to news released by the National Development and Reform Commission on the 11th, in the middle and early September, the prices of pork and eggs continued to rise in the previous period, and both rose to historical highs, and prices fell back into late.

The price of pork, known as the "kidnapping" of China's CPI, began to fall sharply in late September. According to some pork wholesalers, in general, the weather has turned cooler after October each year, and the demand for meat has increased. However, the price of pork on the market has not risen due to the increase in demand this year. At present, the supply of live pigs on the market is very sufficient, and some farmers are selling concentrated pigs, leading to a continuous decline in pork prices.

The reporter learned that on the supply of live pigs, the Ministry of Agriculture has detected that the number of live pigs has increased for seven consecutive months, reaching 47.15 million heads, an increase of 3.76% over the same period of last year and an increase of 1.29% from the previous month. Among them, the number of breeding sows was 48.45 million, an increase of 3.09% from the previous month, and it increased for five consecutive months.

Analysts pointed out that from the point of view of live pigs and fertile sows, it is expected that the slaughter of live pigs and pork supply in the market will be restored in the next few months, laying the foundation for the fall in pork prices.

The prices of rice, flour, and oil dropped slightly. The wholesale price of rice in the Yuquan Road market fell all the way. The prices of beans in the international futures market declined significantly, leading to a drop in edible oil prices.

In addition to meat and vegetables, there are rice, noodles, and oil.

In the Yuquan Road market, the largest professional grain and oil wholesale market in Beijing, since October, with the continuous increase in the number of new rice in Northeast China, the wholesale price of rice has fallen all the way. Long-grain rice bags fell from 128 yuan before the National Day to 21st. 126 yuan. Since the flour market in September has been raised, the overall flour price is in a relatively stable trend.

In addition, due to the apparent decline in the prices of beans in the international futures market last month, the overall market performance of edible oil has declined this month.

The relevant person in charge of the Yuquan Road market analysis said that as far as grain and oil products are concerned, since China’s summer grain has achieved “eight consecutive years” this year, the northeastern rice harvest in autumn is a foregone conclusion and there is sufficient supply in the raw grain market, which will form a certain restriction on the rise in grain prices. . In respect of edible oil, the apparent decline in the international futures market in September was transmitted to domestic stocks, and the price of small-packaged soybean oil generally fell.

“Overall, the impact of grain and oil prices on the October CPI will be reduced.” The person in charge predicts that, together with the declining influence factors of the tails, the CPI in October will be between 5.7% and 5.8%.

Analysts see lower October CPI

Analysts expect the October CPI increase to be less than 6%, but inflationary pressures remain serious. Officials of the National Development and Reform Commission stated that the characteristics of the price run inflection point have been confirmed.

On October 14, the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that in September, the national CPI rose by 6.1% year-on-year, lower than market expectations. Among them, the price of food products rose by 13.4%, affecting the overall price level by 4.05 percentage points, which is still the main driver of maintaining the high level of CPI.

In terms of specific categories, food prices rose by 11.9% in food; meat and poultry products rose by 28.4%, of which pork prices rose by 43.5%.

Zhao Qingming, Ph.D. in economics, believes that CPI rose 6.1% year-on-year in September, and that the main driving force behind price increases was still food. Its price rose by 1.1% month-on-month and 0.5% from the previous month. Taking into account the production seasons such as vegetables and fruits, food prices may continue to rise. The annual CPI will hardly fall within 5%.

Wang Tao, chief economist at UBS Securities, predicts that with the end of autumn harvest and the holiday effect, food prices and overall inflation will fall significantly in October, October CPI increase will be less than 6%, but it is difficult to return About 3% level.

Ma Wenfeng, a special economic analyst at Beijing Oriental Agri Consulting Co., Ltd. and Xinhua News Agency, said that considering that food consumption accounted for 41% of China's rural residents’ consumer spending and 35.7% of urban residents’ consumption, the fall in food prices pushed the CPI down, but it would still be in High position.

“It is expected that the prices of agricultural products will remain at a low level before the winter comes. However, inflationary pressures are still serious, and circulation costs remain high.” Ma Wenfeng believes that once the weather turns cold and transportation is difficult, this will be the main driving force for the price increase of agricultural products. He expects CPI to drop to 5.4% in October.

According to media reports, Peng Sen, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, recently stated publicly that since August, the general level of price increases began to fall. The characteristics of the price running inflection point have been confirmed during the year. It is expected that the consumer price index can be controlled below 5.0% for the next two months of this year.

More than 80% of the province's pork prices have fallen. In some regions, there has been a major driver of the rise in CPI sales, pork prices, and there has been a price shock.

The Xinhua News Agency’s national price monitoring system for agricultural and sideline products and agricultural materials showed that after the National Day, the overall domestic pork price showed a declining trend. Currently, more than 80% of the province’s pork prices have declined.

According to local media reports, the prices of pork in Dalian, Liaoning, Datong, Shanxi, Dezhou, Shandong, and Jiaxing, Zhejiang all dropped significantly. Among them, pork prices have fallen by 11.9% compared with the peak time this year in the Liaoning region where the decline has been relatively large. Some industry insiders in Guangzhou even revealed to reporters that pork prices in Guangdong have fallen by more than 20% compared with the peak during the year.

Feng Yonghui, chief advisor of China Live Swine Early Warning Network, and other experts believe that the respiratory disease has become more frequent in recent seasons, and farmers have rushed to release slaughter pigs in advance. The market supply has increased and prices have dropped. It is expected that pork prices will still have some downside in the latter part of the year, but there is little possibility of a substantial drop and the overall operation will remain relatively high.

Supply increase pig prices drop The above Xinhua News Agency monitoring data show that compared with September 12, on October 21st, the price of pigs with hip and pork meat decreased by 2.7% and 2.5% respectively. Among them, the prices of post-hip meat in Jilin, Liaoning, and Hubei had the highest declines of 6.6%, 5.4%, and 5.3%, respectively.

According to the reporter’s understanding, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Commerce’s monitoring from October 10 to October 16 showed that the pork price in the province began to decline for the first time this year, among which, the retail price of pork farmer’s market was RMB 30.95/kg, down by 0.79% month-on-month.

The daily rate was 24.59 yuan/kg, and it fell to 21.72 yuan/kg on October 19, a decrease of 11.7%.

Liu Feng, the general manager of Guangzhou Rifeng Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., used the phrase “large-scale, down-grade” to describe this wave of decline.

According to his estimation, compared with the peak of this year, the price in Guangdong has dropped by more than 20%.

On October 24th, the reporter learned from Beijing's Xinfadi Shuangqiao Market that on October 22, the price of the white-striped pig was 12 yuan/kg, and that of the white-striped pig was 10.5 yuan/kg. Compared with the National Day period, the decline was 8.3% and 4.7% respectively.

Xinhua News Agency reported that the information collectors of the national agricultural and sideline products and agricultural materials price quotation system reflect that due to the local government’s measures to support pig production and limit prices, the supply of pork has increased recently, so prices have dropped.

Feng Yonghui introduced that live pigs in the summer supplementation period have recently arrived at the time of centralized listing. With seasonal transformation, live pigs are threatened by periodic respiratory diseases. Under the above-mentioned dual influence, farmers have started to supply large numbers of live pigs to avoid possible effects of swine diseases. There has even been a sell-off in the region.

Crash is unlikely?

"The amount of pre-stocking is limited, while the pork consumption season brought about by bacon in the south will also come in the near future. Pork has a limited downside and may reach a critical point by the end of October." Feng Yonghui said that the rising cost of farming also made pork prices impossible. Continue to go down.

According to the search of pigs, the current national pig feed price ratio was 5.96:1, and the pig food price was 7.65:1, up 19.8% and 15.4% year-on-year respectively. Self-promotion led to a profit of 527 yuan.

Farmers' feed costs are also rising. Among them, the price of corn obtained by farmers across the country was 2.32 yuan/kg, up 19% year-on-year, and the price of compounded materials was about 2.98 yuan/kg, up 14.6% year-on-year.

According to CCTV, due to rising costs, the cost of local pig farmers in Dalian is now about 7.6 yuan/kg, and the purchase price has dropped from the original ten yuan to 8.5 yuan/kg.

Feng Yonghui expects that the market price of pork in the later period will still have some downside, but it is unlikely that there will be a substantial drop. The overall operation will remain relatively high.

At the same time, people in the industry stated that since March and April of this year, the number of piglets replenished is far below the level of the same period in previous years, and farmers’ willingness to replenish bar has lasted for half a year. The effect of these factors is expected to increase next year. appear.

He believes that the increase in supply will not last long, and the possibility of plunge in hog prices is unlikely. The current decline in pork prices does not constitute a cyclical trend, and what is worthy of attention is next year.
