Huatai-PB: In April, market fluctuations were characterized by adjustments, with minimal divergence observed between major and minor market indicators. The CSI 300 index concluded the month with a 3.00% decline, indicating an overall downward trend that was subsequently followed by an upward movement. Although the impact of tariffs has decreased in the short term, it remains a significant factor among the three main influences on the market (fundamentals, technology cycle and geopolitics), while the importance of fundamentals is gradually increasing. Overall, the current market position and macroeconomic expectations may support a relatively high equity position, but a full or leveraged position may not be appropriate and should be carefully considered.

China Merchants: Policy-Driven Industrial Intensification and Green Transition: The 2025 Central Document No. 1 outlines a roadmap for the livestock sector to "stabilize production capacity, reduce costs, and strengthen technology," driving structural optimization through dynamic regulation of hog production capacity, resource utilization of livestock waste (targeting 85% by 2030), and enhanced seed industry self-reliance. This is backed by 20 billion yuan in fiscal funding dedicated to R&D in gene editing and epidemic early-warning technologies.
Supply-Demand Imbalances Compel Full-Industry Chain Integration: In 2024, China’s total meat output reached 96.63 million tons, yet structural mismatches persist , with feed costs exceeding 60% of expenses. Large-scale farming now accounts for 65% of production. Consumer trends skew toward premium products: demand for prepared dishes and chilled meat products grew by 25% annually, while e-commerce channels captured 28.6% of sales. Tariff Impacts Accelerate Tech Upgrades and Supply Chain Reshaping.U.S. tariff hikes raised soybean and corn import costs , spurring adoption of feed substitution technologies and import diversification.

Guotai Fund: In the first quarter of 2025, the pig farming sector achieved a total operating revenue of 96.167 billion yuan, representing a year-on-year increase of 19.99%, with net profit attributable to parent companies reaching 7.615 billion yuan. The pig farming industry maintained high profitability in the first quarter. Additionally, in terms of costs, recent farming costs for pig enterprises have continued a downward trend, driven by three core factors: a decline in feed prices, improvement in production efficiency, and enhancements in disease prevention/control as well as pig herd health. In the short term, attention can be focused on the pig farming sector and its corresponding post-cycle segments. (07/05/2025)

Harvest Fund: In April 2025, the official manufacturing PMI fell to 49%, once again falling below the boom bust line, mainly due to unexpected tariffs and a short-term decline in exports, which dragged down market demand. But the market had expectations in the early stage, so the impact of PMI decline on the market is currently controllable. Considering the booming consumption during the May Day holiday and the strong demand for domestic and outbound tourism, it indicates that residents' consumption confidence is gradually recovering, which will contribute to the resilience of macroeconomic recovery. Looking ahead, although exports may gradually face pressure due to the impact of tariffs, the policy of expanding domestic demand is expected to have a negative impact on the economy caused by the decline in exports. The macro economy is expected to continue to recover, and market sentiment and investor risk appetite are expected to remain. As the core asset of the A-share market, the CSI 300 Index is expected to fully benefit, with significant allocation value. (07/05/2025)

Harvest Fund: Against the backdrop of industry cycle recovery, policy dividends release, and deepening domestic substitution, the medium - and long-term growth space for SSE STAR Chip Index is clear. However, at the current stage, there are various problems with the sector, such as overvaluation, capital games, external disturbances, and uncertain market environment, which may significantly exacerbate short-term fluctuations. From a fundamental perspective, on the one hand, chips in 2025 will benefit from the performance recovery of traditional sectors such as storage, simulation, and microprocessors. On the other hand, the deepening of AI applications will also drive the explosion of new growth demand in the entire chip sector. Moreover, the opportunities for AI growth in 2025 are not overly concentrated in the field of computing chips as in the past two years. There is a possibility of an explosion in AI hardware in the next 25 years, which will drive the growth of the entire sector from the underlying consumer electronics product attributes. Therefore, there may be some short-term fluctuations in the chip sector. From a full year perspective, the investment value of SSE STAR Chip Index is significant and deserves special attention.
