Although frequent fluctuations in domestic hog prices seriously affect the stability and robustness of the hog supply chain, hog futures (an effective hedging instrument) have not been listed in China. To better understand hog futures market hedging, it is important to study the steady state of intersubjective bidding. This paper uses evolutionary game theory to construct a game model between hedgers and speculators in the hog futures market, and replicator dynamic equations are then used to obtain the steady state between the two trading entities. The results show that the steady state is one in which hedgers adopt a “buy” strategy and speculators adopt a “do not speculate” strategy, but this type of extreme steady state is not easily realized. Thus, to explore the rational proportion of hedgers and speculators in the evolutionary stabilization strategy, bidding processes were simulated using weekly average hog prices from 2006 to 2015, such that the conditions under which hedgers and speculators achieve a steady state could be analyzed. This task was performed to achieve the stability critical point, and we show that only when the value of λ is satisfied and the conditions of hog futures price changes and futures price are satisfied can hedgers and speculators achieve a rational proportion and a stable hog futures market. This market can thus provide a valuable reference for the development of the Chinese hog futures market and the formulation and guidance of relevant departmental policies.

As an essential part of daily life, the drastic fluctuations in agricultural commodity prices significantly impact producers’ motivation and consumers’ quality of life, further exacerbating market uncertainty and unsustainability. The ability to scientifically and effectively predict agricultural commodity prices is of great significance for the rational deployment of market mechanisms, the timely adjustment of supply chains, and the promotion of food policy adjustments. This paper proposes a sustainable hybrid model SV-PSO-BiLSTM which integrates Seasonal-Trend decomposition procedure based on Loess (STL), Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) neural networks. This innovative approach first performs seasonal decomposition of the original data using the STL method, then applies the VMD method for double decomposition of the residual components, reconstructs the data based on sample entropy, and finally predicts agricultural commodity market prices using the BiLSTM network model optimized by the PSO algorithm. This paper investigates the market price dynamics of four agricultural commodities (chili, garlic, ginger, and pork) and one agricultural financial derivative (soybean futures). The experimental results indicate that the proposed SV-PSO-BiLSTM hybrid model achieves average values of 0.2241 for root mean square error (RMSE), 0.1665 for mean absolute error (MAE), 0.0207 for mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and 0.9851 for the coefficient of determination (R2). These results surpass those of other comparative models, demonstrating stronger generalization, reliability, and stability. The research findings can provide effective guidance for the reasonable regulation of agricultural commodity market prices and further promote the healthy and sustainable development of the agricultural commodity industry.

In May 2024, iron ore was valued at approximately *** U.S. dollars per dry metric ton unit (dmtu), as compared to *** U.S. dollars per dmtu in the same month of the previous year. Iron ore prices and production Iron ore refers to the minerals and rocks from which metallic iron is economically viable to extract. Pig iron, which is one of the raw materials used in steel production, is derived from iron ore. The price of iron ore has fluctuated a great deal over the last twenty years. In 2003, one dmtu of iron ore cost ** U.S. dollars, and increased to a high of *** U.S. dollars per dmtu in 2011. The price saw dramatic drops in the past decade, from ****** U.S. dollars per dry metric ton unit in March 2013 to ***** U.S. dollars per dmtu in December 2015. Since then, the price has increased gradually to ****** U.S. dollars per dmtu as of July 2021, before dropping sharply in August 2021. Iron ore producers Overall, the global production of iron ore did not decrease when the prices dropped. In fact, an increase in production among several of the world's largest iron ore producing countries was observed in the past five years. Australia produced *** million metric tons of iron ore in 2023. China is also among the world's largest iron ore producers, though its production is calculated differently than in other countries. Based primarily on the production of raw ore rather than usable ore, China produced an estimated *** million metric tons in 2023.
