For the owner of the chicken farm, the first few months of this year are simply "like years"-the price of eggs has been falling again and again, and the high cost has made the chicken farm lose all its money. This miserable day finally turned over in June. The price of eggs rose by 50% in a month, but it began to fall rapidly again last week. The expected "rocket egg" is in danger of "disintegration in the middle" before it really takes shape.

In this regard, Liu Tong, head of the Statistics Department of Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, said that the sharp rise in egg prices was caused by futures. "From the perspective of market supply level, there is no room for a sharp increase in prices." In fact, even during the period of a sharp increase in egg prices, the sale of eggs is still very difficult, and some eggs even face the risk of deterioration due to long storage time.

After the myth of "soaring egg price" ended in June, the price of eggs soared all the way, and the price successfully rose from "2 prefix" to "3 prefix" with lightning speed. According to statistics from Beijing Xinfadi, on June 30th, the wholesale price of eggs in Xinfadi market was 3. 13 yuan/kg, which was 1 1.58% lower than that on June 23rd. But it is 49.05% higher than 2. 10 yuan/kg on May 30th, 20 17.

"On June 13, the average wholesale price of eggs in Xinfadi market was 2.44 yuan/kg, and on June 23, it was 3.54 yuan/kg. During the period of 10, the price rose by 45.08%, faster than people often say. " Liu Tong said. The motive force of the egg price jump is "futures and egg market", and the trend of egg price in the later period depends on how traders operate, and has nothing to do with market sales.
