昨日，集运指数(欧线)期货盘面大幅下挫，主力合约EC2602下跌近8%，收于1453.5点；远月合约跌幅 则不大。 对于即将进入交割月的EC2512合约，陈臻表示，12月上旬需关注主要船司交易的实际落地情况，以及 他们是否会进一步降价。12月下旬，重点则是关注船司是否出现挺价及其实际落地情况。如果船司在11 月最后几个工作日突然宣涨12月下半月的运价，那么将会导致期货盘面触底反弹。不过，即便船司宣 涨，他也不看好最终的落地情况。 "周二，集运市场笼罩在即期市场疲软的阴影之中。"方正中期期货资深海运和宏观分析师陈臻表示，周 二多家班轮公司集体下调12月上半月报价，其中赫伯罗特降价至2235美元/FEU，达飞轮船和东方海外 分别降价至2545美元/FEU和2280美元/FEU。临近昨日国内期市尾盘，马士基公布Week50的开舱价在 2200～2300美元/FEU。这意味着之前船司12月初的宣涨预期化为泡影。 至于集运指数(欧线)期货远月合约跌幅不大，陈臻认为，远月合约的盘面点位本就不高，且中东地区交 火持续，因此远月合约受上述利空因素的影响有限。 据了解，明年1月的舱位配置非常充沛。数据显示，明年Week1—2已 ...

2025/2026榨季全球食糖预期供应过剩 今年下半年以来，白糖价格持续走弱，当前市场已进入新旧糖转换阶段。受大量进口加工糖冲击，新糖 价格直接下探至国内制糖成本线。 国际糖业组织（ISO）最新预测显示，受产量增长推动，预计2025/2026榨季全球食糖供应将过剩163万 吨。具体来看，该榨季全球糖产量预计同比增长3.15%，达到1.8177亿吨；而消费量预计仅增长0.6%， 至1.8014亿吨。此外，2024/2025榨季全球食糖预计将出现292万吨的供需缺口。 巴西方面，10月下半月，巴西中南部地区甘蔗入榨量为3110.8万吨，较去年同期增长14.34%；糖产量为 206.8万吨，同比增长16.40%。尽管该地区甘蔗ATR（总可回收糖分）显著低于往年同期水平，但制糖 比大幅提升有效弥补了这一不足。截至目前，本榨季累计制糖比为51.97%，较去年同期的48.59%提高 3.38个百分点，进一步支撑了全球食糖整体增产格局。 印度方面，维持食糖增产预期。据印度糖厂协会（ISMA）数据，2025/2026榨季食糖总产量预计为3435 万吨。若扣除用于乙醇生产的340万吨食糖，该榨季食糖净产量预计为3095万吨。 ...
