UK - Although the SPP has dropped back a shade and now stands at 149.96p, supply and demand seem to be more or less in balance and prices today were of a “positive stand on” nature rather than a positive pee off”! writes Peter Crichton in his "Traffic Lights" commentary for 10 February.Weekly announced prices have all remained at last week’s levels generally within the 145p–150p/kg range and spot quotes have also held firm with possibly the odd copper available in places.Although the spot market only represents a very small proportion of slaughter pig numbers, rather like the auction markets in the “good old days”, they still provide a ready barometer of which way prices are heading.
【英国食品供应 英国猪肉需求和供应处于微妙的平衡】彼得·克莱顿(Peter Crichton)在他2月10日的“红绿灯”评论区写道，尽管猪价有所归落，立在149.96便士的价格水平之上 ， 但是英国猪肉供应和需求看起来正处于微妙的平衡中 。目前的价格处于踊跃上攻的状态而非立着就要掉下去的情势 。每周的公开价格依然向来保持上周的价格水平，大体在145-150便士每千克的范围内浮动，现货价格也表现稳定 。尽管现货市场只代表了出栏生猪数目的很小一部分 ， 这就好比是热火朝天的拍卖场，仍能为价格的未来走势提供一个现成的指标 。
