Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - The November USDA report increased the production estimates of the US and China, which was overall bearish. With the increase in new cotton processing volume, the market's estimate of the new - season cotton production was also raised. Downstream demand was average, and there were signs of inventory accumulation in finished products, but the overall pressure was not significant. As seed cotton procurement was nearing completion, the supply pressure was becoming more evident with the concentrated listing of new cotton. It was expected that Zhengzhou cotton futures would be weak in the short term. Key factors to watch were macro - economic conditions, demand, and policies [3]. - The November USDA report did not adjust the harvested price of US cotton but raised the yield per unit, ultimately increasing the US cotton production estimate by 200,000 tons compared to September. It also increased China's cotton production estimate by 220,000 tons and Brazil's by 110,000 tons. Globally, the cotton production estimate was raised by 520,000 tons, and the ending inventory estimate was increased by 600,000 tons compared to September, showing a bearish outlook [3]. Summary by Related Catalogs Cotton Production and Supply - As of November 13, the national new cotton picking progress was 98.3%, the delivery rate was 95.5%, the processing rate was 56%, and the sales rate was 22.8%. As of November 16, the national new cotton inspection volume in the 2025/26 season was 3.0893 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 20.24% [6]. - According to the USDA's weekly export report, as of the week ending September 25, the weekly signing volume of 2025/26 US upland cotton was 35,200 tons, a week - on - week increase of 81%, a 4% decrease from the four - week average, and a year - on - year increase of 77% [24]. - As of 24:00 on November 17, the cotton inspection volume in the 25/26 season was about 3.1708 million tons, a year - on - year increase of about 19.73% [42].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - The log spot price is running weakly, mainly due to a large short - term arrival volume, a decline in demand, and radiation pine inventory accumulation. The futures price continues to oscillate weakly. The supply side pressure has improved, but the downstream actual demand is lower than expected, and there is no substantial positive news in tariffs and real estate. In the short term, logs will continue to oscillate weakly [2][6] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Spot and Futures - Spot: The price of 3.9 - meter medium A radiata pine logs at Rizhao Port is 750 yuan/cubic meter, and that at Taicang Port is 760 yuan/cubic meter, both down from the previous period. In October 2025, the FOB price of 4 - meter medium A radiata pine logs was 116 US dollars/cubic meter, up 1 US dollar/cubic meter from the previous month [2] - Futures: As of the close on November 18, the main log contract 2601 closed at 785 yuan/cubic meter, continuing its weak oscillation [2] 2. Supply - New Zealand port shipments: From November 8 - 14, 2025, a total of 7 ships with 280,000 cubic meters of logs departed from New Zealand ports, a decrease of 3 ships and 110,000 cubic meters compared to the previous week. Among them, 6 ships with 250,000 cubic meters were directly shipped to China, a decrease of 3 ships and 120,000 cubic meters [2] - Expected arrival volume at 13 ports: From November 17 - 23, 2025, 13 ships of New Zealand logs are expected to arrive at 13 Chinese ports, an increase of 3 ships or 30% week - on - week; the total arrival volume is about 465,000 cubic meters, an increase of 150,000 cubic meters or 48% week - on - week [2] - Actual arrival volume at 13 ports last week: From November 10 - 16, 2025, 10 ships of New Zealand logs arrived at 13 Chinese ports, a decrease of 6 ships or 38% week - on - week; the total arrival volume was about 315,000 cubic meters, a decrease of 214,000 cubic meters or 40% week - on - week [2] - Import volume: In October 2025, China imported 4.19 million cubic meters of logs and sawn timber; from January to October, the import volume was 46.366 million cubic meters, a year - on - year decrease of 12.4% [2] 3. Inventory - As of November 14, the total domestic coniferous log inventory was 2.95 million cubic meters, an increase of 20,000 cubic meters from the previous week; the radiata pine inventory was 2.43 million cubic meters, an increase of 20,000 cubic meters; the North American timber inventory was 100,000 cubic meters, unchanged from the previous week; the spruce/fir inventory was 210,000 cubic meters, an increase of 10,000 cubic meters [3] - High arrival volume continues to put pressure on port log inventory and spot prices. After the arrival volume decreases in mid - November, inventory accumulation may ease after 1 - 2 weeks [3] 4. Demand - Domestic port log outbound volume: From November 7 - 14, the daily average outbound volume of coniferous logs at 13 ports in 7 provinces in China was 65,600 cubic meters; among them, the daily average outbound volume of coniferous logs at Shandong ports was 36,700 cubic meters, and that at Jiangsu ports was 24,400 cubic meters [3] - The national log outbound volume rebounded, especially in Shandong. The core problem is that the port arrival pressure is large, while downstream demand is restricted by seasonal factors, leading to increased sales pressure on traders [3] 5. Recent News and Outlook Tariffs and Imports/Exports - China's radiata pine imports are concentrated in New Zealand, increasing the risk of relying on a single source. The anti - involution policy has an indirect impact on the log market. The May Sino - US Geneva Joint Statement is beneficial for wood product exports, but the terminal market is currently sluggish [4] - The EU will impose higher anti - dumping duties on Chinese hardwood plywood from December 7, 2025. Mexico has made a positive preliminary anti - dumping ruling on Chinese cardboard. Since November 10, 2025, the suspension of US log imports has been lifted, but the arrival volume will be limited in the short term [4] - Russian freight costs have increased by up to 50%, and wood prices have risen by 11% - 14%. China's demand market is currently weak [4] Trading and Delivery - Since its listing one year ago, the trading and holding volume of log futures and options has increased steadily. A total of 8 futures contracts and 164 option contracts have been listed, with a combined trading volume of about 7.87 million lots, a trading value of about 464 billion yuan, an average daily trading volume of about 32,400 lots, and an average daily holding volume of about 53,400 lots [5] - The LG2507 and LG2509 contracts have expired, with a total delivery of 1,412 lots, equivalent to about 127,100 cubic meters of log spot, with a total value of about 104 million yuan [5] Downstream and Building Materials/Real Estate - In September 2025, the sales volume of large - scale building materials and home furnishing stores nationwide was 130.838 billion yuan, a month - on - month increase of 23.84% and a year - on - year decrease of 8.02%; from January to September, the cumulative sales volume was 1,044.801 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 3.75% [5] - As of November 4, the capital availability rate of sample construction sites was 59.82%, a week - on - week increase of 0.12 percentage points. The real estate data shows a downward trend, and the log demand side remains weak [5] 6. Strategies and Suggestions - The 2509 contract weakened in the second - quarter off - season and rose significantly from July to August, mainly driven by shortages of some specifications, rising FOB prices, and pre - delivery stocking demand. After entering the delivery month, the near - and far - month contracts showed different trends [6] - In September, the 2511 contract price rose and then fell rapidly before the delivery month. The "Golden September and Silver October" demand was average, and the futures price回调 after the holiday in October, reflecting market pessimism about downstream demand [6] - The previous main contract 2601 continued to oscillate strongly when the 2511 contract declined. Currently, the downstream actual demand is lower than expected, and there is no substantial positive news. The log market will continue to oscillate weakly in the short term [6]

Shanghai Aluminum fell, closing at 21,725, with a weakening technical pattern. Trading volume increased while open interest decreased, indicating significant market divergence [4] Market Sentiment and Outlook - After the hype of anti - involution subsided, alumina oscillated at a low level. With the easing of trade disputes, unclear situation in Russia - Ukraine, and rising energy prices, market sentiment was relatively strong. After the hype of gold and copper decreased, small metals were favored by funds. The short - term volatile upward trend of Shanghai Aluminum will continue, but it may face pressure in the medium term due to insufficient spot demand. The future focus is on whether Shanghai Aluminum will fluctuate with copper prices and the spot demand situation [4] Aluminum Market Indicator Monitoring | Date | RMB Exchange Rate | Spot Premium | LME Aluminum Futures - Spot Price Difference | Main Contract Shanghai - London Ratio | | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | | November 11 | 7.1224 | - 20 | - 16 | 7.54 | | November 12 | 7.1124 | - 10 | - 24 | 7.56 | | November 13 | 7.0971 | - 10 | - 28 | 7.58 | | November 14 | 7.0998 | - 20 | - 26 | 7.60 | | November 17 | 7.1058 | - 20 | - 28 | 7.65 | [5]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in December is expected to drop below 50%, risk aversion continues to rise, and risk assets are generally weak. Macro - level negative factors have led to a weak market trend today, with copper prices under pressure and falling [3]. - The uncertainty of the Fed's interest - rate cuts has increased, while China's monetary policy tends to be loose, resulting in large short - term fluctuations in copper prices. The Indonesian mines are gradually resuming production, but spot demand remains sluggish, inventories are high, and there may be some pressure on the spot side in the future. There are contradictions and high uncertainties between the medium - term macro - expectations and spot demand [4]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Market Situation - Due to macro - level negative impacts, the market is weak today.

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core View - Despite the overall increase in new - grain production, the grain quality in North China and other regions is severely differentiated. The market favors high - quality corn from Northeast China. New - grain sales are relatively fast, and demand is strong. It is recommended that grain - using enterprises purchase at low prices and moderately increase safety reserves, while traders should buy low and sell high [6]. Group 3: Summary by Related Content Market Price and Basis - The main corn 2601 contract continued to rebound. The spot price increased, with the FOB price of corn in Bayuquan rising from 2,165 yuan/ton to around 2,205 yuan/ton, an increase of 40 yuan/ton, and the arrival price of corn in Shekou Port rising from 2,250 yuan/ton to around 2,330 yuan/ton, an increase of 80 yuan/ton. The corn basis first weakened and then strengthened, with the futures slightly at a discount. The main starch 2601 contract continued to rebound. The starch price of Weifang Jinyu remained stable at around 2,800 yuan/ton, and the basis fluctuated weakly [4]. Supply Side - Farmers are somewhat reluctant to sell, but new - grain sales are still fast. The national corn output increased to 300 million tons, 500,000 tons higher than the same period last year. Due to the differentiation of grain quality in North China and other regions, the market mostly stocks up in Northeast China. The price increase in the Northeast region has made farmers reluctant to sell, and it is easier to store after the temperature drops. As of November 13, the national new - grain sales progress was 24%, 1% faster than the same period last year. Among them, the sales progress in the Northeast region was 19%, 2% faster than the same period last year; in North China, it was 23%, the same as the same period last year; in Northwest China, it was 46%, 3% faster than the same period last year. At the new - grain listing node, imported corn was auctioned again, and Sinograin entered the market to purchase for rotation, which affected the new - grain purchase and sales rhythm [4]. Demand and Inventory - After the corn price increase, downstream enterprises slowed down their procurement. As of November 7, the corn inventory in the northern ports was 1.071 million tons and continued to rise, while the weekly shipping volume was 582,000 tons, a decrease from the previous week. The domestic - trade corn inventory in Guangdong Port was 454,000 tons, and the foreign - trade corn inventory was 412,000 tons, both rising from the previous week. As of November 14, the corn inventory of deep - processing enterprises was 273,500 tons, a decrease from the previous week, and the corn inventory of feed enterprises was 25.61 days, an increase from the previous week [5]. Substitute and Import - There is a lack of grain substitution, and imports remain at a low level. The price difference between wheat and corn remains above 200 yuan, so wheat does not have a substitution advantage. Domestic corn imports remain at a low level. However, Sino - US trade is improving, and mutual tax cuts have been implemented, with a basic tariff of 10% still retained. There is a possibility of replenishing and rotating imported corn due to the auction of imported corn in the domestic market [5]. External Market - The US corn in the external market fluctuated and rebounded. The US government will end the shutdown, and the US Department of Agriculture will release the latest supply - demand report. The US corn harvest may be basically over, with high production pressure. Attention should be paid to the possibility of China importing US corn [5]. Downstream Demand - Feed demand is strong, and deep - processing demand is good. Pig prices are low, and pig farming continues to incur losses. As of November 14, the profit of purchasing piglets for fattening was - 205.64 yuan per head, and the self - breeding and self - fattening profit was - 114.81 yuan per head. The adjustment of the productive sow capacity is slow. In September, the national productive sow inventory was 40.35 million heads, a decrease of 30,000 heads from the previous month, far from the regulatory target. Market pressure on pigs for slaughter and secondary fattening increased. At the end of the third quarter, the live - pig inventory was 436.8 million heads, a 29% increase from the previous quarter and a 23% increase from the same period last year. In the short term, the inventory is difficult to reduce. In the poultry sector, egg prices have fallen again, and egg - chicken farming continues to incur losses. The sales volume of chicks has decreased, and the culling of old chickens has increased. In October, the inventory of laying hens decreased slightly. Feed demand remains strong. Deep - processing enterprises have good demand. Starch - processing enterprises continue to make profits, and the operating rate is rising. As of November 14, the operating rate of starch - processing enterprises was 63.48% and continued to rise. Starch inventory remains at a high level. Alcohol - processing enterprises are suffering large losses, and the operating rate remains high at 67.29%.
