Chinese egg futures for the January 2026 contract have weakened recently, but the analyst says tight supply has not improved and Mid-Autumn stocking and school reopenings support demand. Feed prices are rising, layer chick prices are up, and early-year layer restocking has been weak, though producer margins are high.
Rising feed costs and weak restocking support egg supply tightness and price floors, so bearish bets carry risk. Feed grain and soymeal prices remain a key cost driver for layer producers.
