thank a lot for .. immediate answer ...
The article tried to discuss the jump in the future price of eggs (traded on mercantile exchange). So, a reason for the price of eggs to go up would be chicken flocks being jeopardized by whatever reason (endemic flu, floods etc.). But as per the market participants the flocks seemed to be healthy and cheerful and thus the conclusion of the article was that there were no fundamentals for the eggs prices to go up, but, likely, they face a bubble as many commodities in China do nowadays
