# Egg futures: be cautious chasing shorts and control risk

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
