Forward prices for the front month Feb-25 have stabilized at €1.73/kg. However, the summer months 2025 are quoted between € 1.95 and € 1.98/kg.
Brazil: Producer prices have increased significantly to €1.86/kg. Increases in domestic prices and a stronger currency have contributed to this. Expectations for 2025 remain high.
China: No prices were quoted due to the New Year festive week; the price recently stood at €2.90/kg. Prices are usually expected to fall rapidly after the festive period. The month of March-2025 is quoted at €2.30/kg on the Dalian exchange, and prices are not expected to rise again until the summer months. Pork production is expected to continue at a reduced level.
Conclusion: The supply bottleneck at the turn of the year and the subdued demand sentiment in the first few weeks of the year are only slowly subsiding. Hidden price cuts outside of the quotation range are causing displeasure. However, the first weak signs of an improvement in the market situation (low pre-registrations, decreasing weights) are encouraging.
ZMP Live Expert Opinion
The persistent market and price weakness after the turn of the year has lasted for an unusually long time, despite hidden price reductions outside the quotation range. However, the first faint signs of improvement cannot be overlooked.
