China wants slimmer pigs
By Ella Cao and Lewis Jackson BEIJING (Reuters) -Chinese farmers and small firms have increasingly bought market-ready pigs from larger breeders and fattened them in a bet on higher prices, but the government is cracking down on the speculative practice to slim down hogs and stabilise the market. For small breeders, "refattening" or buying adult hogs from big producers and feeding them for an extra few months until they put on an extra 40-50kg is a way to gamble on pork prices rising. But analysts say regulators are concerned the bets fuel big price swings and squander feed, in the latter case clashing with a national push to cut grain use in livestock, especially as the trade war with the U.S. underscores a long-standing goal to reduce dependence on food imports. "It can lead to short-term shortages followed by a glut, driving big price swings and unsettling the market," said Pan Chenjun, senior animal protein analyst at Rabobank. "The government seems intent on stabilising pork prices, which remain weak, while protecting small farmers from losses and curbing speculative behaviour," Pan added. Muyuan Foods, China's top pig breeder, told state-run Beijing News in late May that it had halted sales to refatteners, after rumours of a policy meeting targeting the practice boosted pig firm stocks. A crackdown is already underway, according to a source directly familiar with the matter and two briefed by others involved, one of whom said Guangdong province in southern China is a particularly strict enforcer. The National Development and Reform Commission and Muyuan did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment. China, the world's biggest pork consumer, is grappling with weak demand and oversupply that have eroded margins. Cash hog prices have hovered around 14 yuan per kg since February, down from a peak of 21 yuan last August, according to MySteel data. Refattening boosts pork supply when the pigs hit the market and worsens price drops when the market is already falling, said Lin Guofa, senior analyst at Bric Agriculture Group, a consultancy. A 150-kg pig yields about 142% of the pork produced by a 115-kg pig, Lin added. Feed efficiency is also a concern as China looks to cut grain use in animal feed, especially with the trade war speeding its move away from the U.S. soybeans that mostly go into animal feed. Pigs are most efficient at around 120 kg - beyond that, they eat more but grow less, Pan said.

US stock futures little changed ahead of US-China trade talks
U.S. stock futures are little changed with inflation data due and possibly, some clarity on where the U.S. and China stand on trade issues and how the Senate may vote on the more than 1,000-page tax bill before it. The May consumer price index report, due midweek, could provide insight into whether the tariff rollercoaster is reviving inflation. It is the first full month of data since President Donald Trump announced his aggressive tariff plan on April 2. Many of the harshest tariffs have been rolled back or paused, but some have kicked in. Wholesale price data are due the next day and could give investors an idea of whether there is inflation coming down the pipeline to Americans. Wholesale prices are what businesses pay for their goods and services. At the end of the week, a new consumer sentiment reading from the University of Michigan also includes data on inflation expectations. Separately, officials from the U.S. and China are expected to hold trade talks in London, Trump said last week. The talks follow a phone call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping after Trump accused China of violating terms of a tariff pause agreed on last month in Switzerland. At 5:45 a.m. ET, futures linked to the blue-chip Dow rose 0.12%, while broad S&P 500 futures added 0.12% and tech-heavy Nasdaq futures were flat. All three indexes closed higher last week, and the S&P 500 is now less than 3% from its record high. The S&P 500 topped the 6,000 mark for the first time since Feb. 21. Investors will also continue to watch the path of the One, Big Beautfil bill in the Senate after a public and fierce tit-for-tat exchange between Tesla chief executive Elon Musk and Trump over social media about the tax bill. Musk called the bill a "pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," and Trump called Musk "crazy." Cryptocurrency platform Gemini said it confidentially submitted a draft registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an initial public offering of class A shares. The IPO is expected after the SEC review process, it said in a release. Medora Lee is a money, markets, and personal finance reporter at USA TODAY.

TSX futures lifted by gains in metal prices; eyes on US-China trade talks
(Reuters) -Futures for Canada's main stock index rose on Monday, supported by gains in metal prices, as markets await a fresh round of U.S.-China trade talks later in the day. The futures on the S&P/TSX index were up 0.17% at 5:22 a.m. ET (9:22 GMT). All eyes will be on the high-stakes talks in London, where top U.S. and Chinese officials will attempt to defuse tensions that have recently expanded beyond tariffs to export controls over goods and components critical to global supply chains. The discussions follow a rare call last week between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Meanwhile, Beijing signaled interest in improving relations with Canada, as Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Prime Minister Mark Carney talked on a phone call on Friday, according to the Xinhua news agency. In the stock market, shares of metal miners might grab the spotlight as spot silver rose near 1% in the day, while gold and copper prices also edged higher. On the flip side, oil prices slipped on weak China data, but held on to most of last week's gains On Friday, Canada's main stock index rose to a new record high, led by gains in energy and technology shares, as oil prices advanced and U.S. and Canadian jobs data eased investor concerns about a possible recession. This week, global markets will focus on Wednesday's U.S. inflation report, which will shape expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. In corporate news, brokerage firm Barclays raised price target on major Canadian banks, including Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank.
