The constituent stocks include Zangge Mining, which rose by 4.72%, Yara International, which increased by 3.88%, and Yituo Co., Ltd., which went up by 3.17%. Other stocks such as Batian Co., Ltd. and Chenguang Biotech also followed suit. The Agriculture ETF ChinaAMC (516810) rose by 1.28%, with the latest price reported at 0.87 yuan. In terms of news, pig prices have hit a new low in over a decade. On April 3, the main contract price for domestic live pig futures fell to 9,370 yuan/ton, marking a new low since its listing. In the spot market, the average price for live pigs has dropped below 10 yuan/kg, reaching a low not seen in over ten years. In the face of this cyclical downturn, current breeding enterprises are "wintering" by reducing costs and increasing efficiency, optimizing financial structures, and expanding overseas markets to enhance their risk resistance. Huachuang Securities believes that the pig industry is at a bottom and is looking ahead for layout, with efficiency outperforming growth and quality surpassing scale. Currently, the valuation level of the pig breeding sector is relatively low, with sufficient safety margins. Moreover, as the marginal contribution of feed raw material prices to cost reduction weakens, the replacement of breeding pig strains approaches its end, and the stabilization of pig disease prevention and control, the industry is entering a deep water zone for cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. In terms of liquidity, the Agriculture ETF ChinaAMC saw a turnover of 21.1% during the trading session, with a transaction volume of 90.5206 million yuan, indicating active market trading. Looking at a longer time frame, as of April 7, the average daily transaction volume of the Agriculture ETF ChinaAMC over the past week was 98.7399 million yuan. The Agriculture ETF ChinaAMC (516810.SH) holds leading positions in various sub-sectors such as agricultural chemicals, planting, and pig breeding, fully benefiting from the reversal of internal competition, chemical cycles, seed safety, and the pig cycle reversal. Currently, its valuation is at a historical low level. Investors can use the ETF to position themselves for the agricultural rebound opportunity at low levels, as ETFs have the advantages of low thresholds and risk diversification, while passively tracking indices, with transparent holdings and stable styles.
